Did you know the DMCA cover's your car's ECU?

Just read this article over on Wired. I had no idea that the DMCA actually made it illegal to modify a car's ECU. Otherwise known as tuning the computer which is a very common thing people often do.

WTF! It Should Not Be Illegal to Hack Your Own Car's Computer | WIRED


If any manufacturer wanted to they could go after any of the countless companies that offer up tuning software, chips ect..ect.

There is a group trying to have that portion of the DMCA rewritten to make it "legal" to turn your car, before a manufacturer decides to go down that route..
