There's both a hardware and software bricking component.
Edit: I reread the thread and now I'm not so sure. It might be entirely software blacklisting.
But if that's the case, can't you ip blackhole Sonos' servers and still have it all work?
you think Sonos' equipment works without an internet connection?
I think so. The clients are all SOAP/UPnP, and there are lots of open source clients and API bindings. I could be wrong, though.
And spoof what ever they're sending from the speaker? Because the whole "recycle" mode is about getting that rebate.
Server is hardware, controlling OS and such is software. Both bricking components are present.
