I looked at these speakers a few months ago. They look really cool. As soon as I saw that they require phoning home, I said "lolno" and built my own speaker system with RPIs. I love the idea of smart devices, but only as long as the software is Free and Open. I really don't understand people who think situations like this are acceptable.
