A fair few piracy jokes in here, but this is a really good example of why right to repair/right of ownership is such an important fucking thing.

If I buy that car, I own it. Nobody else should get to dictate what I can or cannot do with my property so long as it doesn't intentionally bring physical harm to an innocent. But the government loves giving corporations more and more power through regulations which never benefit the end user.

It's not piracy to utilise what I own to its full potential.
