The bastards barely started selling it a few years ago. I feel like some responsibility should exist. It isn't a company that is going under, so it shouldn't be able to just casually kill the devices tied-service it only recently sold.

Anything discontinued should stop being protected by copyright law, and the manufacturer should be forced to give every piece of information they have on that product.
