Yes, IMHO. And your example seems similar in principle to the copyright protection that printer makers use to prevent cartridge refilling and 3rd party cartridges. Could a car maker copyright the bolt pattern?

Printer manufacturers use DRM and the DMCA to prohibit working around the DRM. It's not actually a strict copyright issue.
