Roku has become just another arrogant tech company, but this stunt -- locking up people's "smart" TVs until they agree to regressive new terms of service -- is disgusting even for this crowd.

How can it even be legal?

"Free Market" hurrr durrr

That's why

Seems like it would be illegal. Certainly should be.

This, or Roku's bullshit?

If the former, that's more incentive to buy or use their products if just the software fulfills your needs.

Roko setting new terms and locking your tv that you already paid for when the terms were different.
