Copying a car wouldn't be any more legal than copying a DVD. It's just so hard to copy a car that no emphasis has to be put on that fact. All aspects of a car are patented or copyrighted. Everything from the look to the brand and many of the technical solutions used in the car. When you buy a car, you don't own much of that car, except the right to drive it and sell it. Just like when you buy a DVD, you just buy the right to play it and sell it.
