    Is it still sabotage if the only thing they have sold is a license to use their product not the product itself. That is still their property.

      I’m no law expert, but as far as i know, there were already similiar cases. Reasoning (german law): Software required to run the product is not “licensed to use” but part of the product, which was bought, belongs the user and not the company. Remotely making the device unusable would indeed violate that term.
