I'm used this idea in media stuff - you don't buy software, just a license to use a copy of it, or songs from iTunes, you buy a license to listen to a copy of the song for the time being - but tractors?
John Deere has gone as far as to claim that farmers don’t own the tractors they pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for, but instead receive a “license to operate the vehicle”.

My brother in law used to be an independent mechanic. He gave up (about 15 years ago) because he reckoned that car manufacturers were going to control much more of the maintenance work. He didn't see it as a bad thing particularly, more inevitable technology, with them able to stick a key into a hole and the car to show right away what was wrong.
There's got to be question over this stuff though. When does it become anti-competitive? Apparently this is, relatively speaking, a fairly easy branch of law, but it's too hard for me.

Massachusetts have passed a 'right to repair' bill about cars which, it looks like, will be taken up by the industry across the country to avoid further state or federal legislation.
The total construction cost of the house: $10,134.
