It's not necessarily that you're required to provide services in the first place, it's that that ship has sailed once you've already sold the product, while knowingly using a marketplace which has no vetting.
I wonder how you'd feel if a company decided to disable your fridge years after you bought it, because you publicly pointed out an issue with the product and figured it's worth 2 stars. Tell me, is there a time limit on this insanity?

Tell me, is there a time limit on this insanity? I don't buy networked products that I'm not okay with losing the cloud functionality at a moment's notice. Caveat emptor.
- theprotocol 10y agoThe means by which the company deprives you of the product is not what's being debated.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoReturn the product if you're not happy then. You're not entitled to a service, only the piece of hardware.
- theprotocol 10y agoAt once, your majesty. But seriously, it's not you or the creator's call whether I have to return the product. I don't have to return it if I gave it a bad review. Just because I bought something from a store doesn't mean I'm now accountable to the creator. I hope you don't have to test your theory in court, because you will lose - because the law is clear on this matter.
- toomuchtodo 10y ago> I hope you don't have to test your theory in court, because you will lose - because the law is clear on this matter. The law is clear. You can keep the product. You are not entitled to services. You can keep your lump of silicon, that is all you are entitled to.
