GM car concern was going to ban somehow modify the appearance of cars its production. And this is not trivial jealousy - they say that rare craftsmen from the Russian hinterland can to tune the carthat the standard design and technical specifications of General Motors engineers fade significantly in the background converted stock cars. They found in this prohibition purely practical grounds: they refer to prohibitive language in the field of copyright law.

The authors of such an ingenious thought believe that the alteration - the reconfiguration of the software with which the systems and components of the car are stitched, may contribute to copyright infringement. How? Yes, very simple! For example, by flashing the software of the car’s audio system, craftsmen will be able to download music from the Internet in a pirated way, which will cause irreparable material damage to the rights holders.

In addition, as experts believe automaker, modern cars, descending from their conveyor, so filled with electronics, that any alteration can entail a mortal danger to the driver and road users. That is why ban on tuning cars General Motors will soon be approved as a legal rule. Moreover, it will be impossible to deal with the alteration of stock copies not only for private individuals, but also for all kinds of commercial organizations that offer today car tuning services population, occupying a decent share of the market for such services.

But one is not a warrior in the field. Therefore, GM enlisted the support of other automakers, owners of no less famous brands. These are Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Mazda, Ford, Volvo and many others. But innovators are still people who are sensible, so they make a reservation: because completely ban car tuning it will not work, you need to require a ban on changing only those systems of the car that directly relate to the safety of the car and the driver.
