Go watch Louis Rossman's YouTube channel. He talks about DMCA and right to repair a lot.

You know this is just crazy town when what you purchase isn't yours - Makes me glad I have not messed with Forscan - though Ford is not named - you can bet it will be an industry move ...

Will be interesting to see how this turns out .....

Automakers push 3 to 5 years in prison for accessing your car data

"Modern cars are rolling computers packed with sensors, cameras, microphones, and always-on connectivity, yet the people who own them are being told that peeking under the digital hood could be treated like a serious crime. As automakers lobby to lock down access to vehicle data and software, they are leaning on broad anti-hacking laws that already threaten security researchers and independent repairers with years behind bars. The result is a collision between public safety, privacy, and the basic idea that you should be allowed to understand and fix the machine you paid for."

Cheers

kind of hard for Ford to stand firm on this at the moment ...
if they start locking down the as-builts then maybe ...
but for now, "Vive Le Forscan."
