I bought this device to be a hackable low power linux computer and Network Attached storage array. and I dont want to have to pay for a service I do not want, even if its going to take another 364 days for them to attempt to start charging me to use the hardware I already paiid for in full.  Since I bought something that was branded by seagate (dockstar), I never had any intention of working with anything related pogoplug the company, I never ageed to allow them to access my computer network so techncialy every tiem they do so they are breaking the law, and I have serius issues with the fact that I cant add data to the computer hardware I bought without a third party server scanning all my stuff.  I dont want the service. I just want use of my hardware.

So how do I disable the my.pogoplug service junk wthout bricking my hardware? I dont want it, I dont need it, and I can put together a better solution thats more secure in a weekend.  Yet killing the deamon for the cloud services shuts down everything, drops it from my network, and makes it unusable.

 Anybody know how?
