Unfortunately you are correct.

This is just another stupid thing in a very long list of stupid things.

The experts that were part of this can do better outside the government for now. Intelligence is wasted in these agencies right now.

Still, some think safety measures do more to inconvenience motorists than to protect pedestrians.

Oh no, wouldn't want to be inconvenient to motorist.

Do you know what else is really inconvenient? Death. Tends to mess with your plans.

The Title II difference is a very good point, all analogies fall apart at some point.

I agree the ISPs, like many other companies, will all be courting the new White House to get what they want.

As far as the car itself, BMW provides you with a product. This differs from a service where the provider can set in place rules that you need to abide by. If I want to chop the top off my new BMW and install ugly spoiler, there's nothing that BMW can do about that.

All very true, BMW is a very scummy company lately.

My argument was that primarily, BMW is a manufacturer of a product. It would be a better analogy to a modem company being sued for the content that was transmitted through their device.

Side note, I think the feature unlock trend in cars is the worst possible thing.

The relationship is different though, BMW is not a service provider.

A better analogy would be the phone company. Is it their job to monitor their customers conversation and determine the legality of what is being said?
