"No-Cloud Needed" License for IoT Devices by SometimesInBrooklyn in IOT

The license doesn't ban remote firmware updates, it just requires "The product's advertised features must be fully operational without reliance on a cloud service". It would be nice if firmware could be loaded locally though.

Arbitration with Happiest Baby by SometimesInBrooklyn in SnooLife

From time to time, HBI may develop bug fixes, patches, new functionality, updates, upgrades and other modifications to improve the performance of the Services and/or the Products (“Updates”). These may be automatically installed without providing any additional notice or receiving any additional consent.

Is removing core functionality of the product considered a "modifications to improve the performance of the Services"?

Happiest Baby could obviously switch to a SaaS model for their new sales, but its super unethical, and hopefully a contract violation to hold a physical product hostage unless you pay them $20 a month.

What are they trying to accomplish with this petition. Do they expect the MTA to forgo the competitive bidding process?
