Why should you, as a consumer, care about internal legal issues between the manufacturer of your phone and some other company? If the manufacturer decides, for whatever reason, to remove features from the phone after you purchased it, I think it is reasonable for the transaction to be reversed, i.e. refund me the full amount for the phone and I will return the phone.
If a publisher is found to have published a book without license, would it be reasonable to find all who bought the book, break into their homes, take the book, and leave in its place the purchase price in cash?
If not, then why is doing the same, but on a computer, remotely reasonable?
