The state of consumer protection in USA:
1. Futurehome creates product (smart home controller stuff) and gets it installed in many homes.
2. They goes bankrupt, get inherited by a new company calling itself Futurehome.
3. They remotely break functions on all their installed units with a firmware update, demanding monthly payments that weren't there before, to provide this function on the local network.
4. Rossmann offers a bounty to forcibly fix the situation.
5. Futurehome calls that illegal.
