It’s free though. As in you can “buy” it to try and hack it or just not use it to make the company lose money.

    There's a contract, modifying it or using it as not intended (or not using it at all) can make them request the unit back, if you don't comply they could take you to court. I doubt that happens but the threat is there.

    If there is a contract then that’s not a thing you own, it’s more like you leasing your living room.

    I can leave everything I own in a storage space, if I can’t then I don’t own it.
