Like that robotic arm which immobilised parked cars for days; or like
patients' data which Dr. Notes locked.... the vendor takes control over the
software that it sold. The software is still the possession of the seller.
To clarify, some of the queries posted through the Web interface above (see
OP) are urgent (some are even tagged 'emergencies'). The gateway to
communication is blocked and the host is held hostage by some software
house, which may or may not respond on a Sunday.
