Absolutely love that CCC talk, very interesting and quite entertaining too.
Cheeky bastards.
Did anything ever come from this? I imagine that any of the railway companies affected would want to sue?
Not much possibility for argumenting about security reasons either when you literally have the GPS coordinates of your competitors in your code.

Fuck, I forgot to post it on piracy community. I posted it only in RtR one.
I wonder if instead of pushing for right to repair, wouldn’t it be better to push for the abolition of intellectual property altogether.
Those are two seperate issues really. You can abolish IP but a company could still produce products that aren’t repairable
True, but they’d have to compete against alternatives that are repairable, because the IP no longer impedes that competition.
This has nothing to do with piracy.
I think it may tangentially as you could argue hacking into the software to modify and bypass software locks is akin to piracy.
