Shouldn't have given the exemption for infotainment. It is perfectly legal to jailbreak an iPhone, why not a car? Once the consumer takes ownership of the car, it is their right to do with as they will, as long as they break no laws.
Otherwise, happy that the Copyright Office upheld the rights of the consumers. As the VW issue shows, allowing manufacturers to keep the inner workings of software a secret black box allows them to do some very naughty things.
