If the device's creator in incommunicado that means avenues of legal
redress are gone. If their device is defective... doesn't perform as
advertised or violates the law (your right to privacy), you aren't
'breaking the law' by modifying the device because they've voided their
own contract with the consumer. Fly-by-nights have no patent
(copyright/etc) protection. SOMEONE has to own up to 'proprietorship',
and if 'owning up' means they get sued by a million people, or go to
prison, or get lynched, they are NOT going to claim any rights.
