Interesting subject. I can see both sides of the non payment thing. We, as a society, have done it to ourselves though. Go back a couple of hundred years, credit was not that easy to get, especially for large items. I don't claim to be an expert on the subject, but I do know the credit card as we know it didn't exist until the 50's. My parents didn't have many things they paid out on credit. And it was pretty hard to get a lot of it if you didn't know a banker.
I work at a place that sells electronic supplies and other related things. We have six or eight "note lots" that sell used (really used) cars for a down payment and weekly payments after that. They all buy the various terminals and other hardware from us to install the GPS devices on every car they sell. It stays on the car even after it's paid for, kind of a "gentleman's" agreement I guess. I have asked them if I buy one of their cars for cash will they remove the device, yes, if I ask. I don't like it, but every one of them says they have to do it. Too many times they get a down payment and never see the car again.
Now, as far as the "intellectual property" of JD and GM goes. I agree that anything you buy and get a title for should be yours to do what you will with it. I can assure you that a 2 or 3 hundred thousand dollar tractor will include in the price anything you can think of to use it for. That being said, I imagine the new bills of sale will say something about it now.
Do I like it??? Nope, and I'm thinking seriously about refurbishing my '84 Dodge truck and making it new again. I can work on it and make it without all that much in electronic tattle tales.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
