[citation][nom]Franklin Hennersdorfer[/nom]Yes, they should, if only to set a precedent to stop others from doing this same kind of thing. Removing features from an already purchased product is tantamount to theft if you ask me, (and any EULA that tries to make this practice kosher should be illegal, too). If Toyota recalled those accelerator challenged vehicles, and in the process disabled 'left turns', shouldn't they be sued? There's little difference here in my eyes. Sure, Toyota could argue that one could live without left turns, after all 3 right turns equals one left. But would you buy that excuse? Doubtful.[/citation]
That actually makes a lot of sense.
Removing features from an already products should indeed be threaded as theft.
I'm all for it.
It's also, because they used it as a selling point on occasions, deceptive advertising.
