If you sell a product with a promise to run servers for N years, you put a deposit to run servers for N years, or you have a contingency plan to let a third party run it for N years after you went out of business.
If you can't deliver on a promise and didn't make a good faith effort, maybe you committed fraud.
I have no idea about bankruptcy law -- does the company defaulting on their contractual obligations make their customers their creditors? Maybe the customers are entitled to get rights to whatever code the company had and is free to run it at their own expense. Or maybe nobody really cares enough about 800 dollar teddy bears.
