===Rent-seeking===
Per Wikipedia, rent-seeking is "the act of growing one's existing wealth by manipulating public policy or economic conditions without creating new wealth".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Rent-seeking |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent-seeking |url-status=live |access-date=20 Aug 2025 |website=Wikipedia}}</ref> Automotive manufacturers expend the same costs to produce their automotives, regardless of whether consumers pay for the additional features or not. Consumers also officially own the systems that enable these features, regardless of whether they pay to use them or not. As a result, automotive manufacturers aim to use DRM to generate additional profits without truly giving the consumer anything that they did not already own.
