We got to this point by the US ruthlessly negotiating every trade deal to give its copyrights global supremacy.

This is a big problem for reverse engineering things like servicing your John Deere tractor, of interest to countries with citizens that eat food.

People are catching on, though; eventually, one country is to going to step out of this US-enforced system and there will be a legal place to hack your car so you can use the seat warmer without paying a subscription.
