Earlier this year my roku-enabled TV started showing some new Terms Of Service, and it wouldn't let me watch anything unless I agreed to them.

...or unplugged it from the network.

Now, it sounds like they may have done me a favor.

The fine print of that TOS allowed you to opt out if you mailed a letter to a specific legal department at Roku within a certain time frame.

Also, that should be a crime.

Yes! Because they are treating you as if you don't own your TV.
