Fairly sure all his credit cards and accounts are frozen.

#4I guess you have to first install and register plug on the mobile device before you can use it. This would forbid connecting from any random computer.

Isn't that what people say about Apple Macintosh systems?

This is why the project would have been better off as open source with anonymous donations. Decentralization is still the best way to defeat aggregation.

>Closed source
This is THE dealbreaker for me.
I felt so excited to see Plug. I was ready to sign up to Kickstarter to back my first product. It's a plug-and-play NAS, a data solution I've been trying to find. I really, really wanted to use it. But I can't for ethical reasons.
I hate to sound like I'm preaching open-source but it's unacceptable anymore, although I will give them credit that it's a step in the right direction. We need devices like Plug. Just make them open and I'll happily back it.
