curios honestly, why not and what do you think that actually merits filling a case? I am genuinely interested on hearing the mental gymnastics you do in order to hate consumers
If you break someone's shit by accident, they can still sue you, and people should probably sue HP, but you can't try to have a prosecutor bring them to a criminal trial under the CFAA.
CFAA: intentionally accesses a protected computer without authorization, and as a result of such conduct, causes damage and loss.
The point is that fighting this is a lose-lose for HP. Either HP has to argue in court that they have a contractual right to brick your computer, or they have to make you happy enough to drop the case. Visualize the press coverage of HP arguing on the record that they have the right to brick your computer.
