"Destruction of property" is a law on the books in some form in pretty much every jurisdiction[1].
When you sell a printer to someone, it's no longer your property, it's their property, and if you destroy it, that's destruction of property.
Arguably there's also some cyber crimes involved here as well.
If I hacked into your printer and bricked it, I'd go to jail, no question. Why is HP above the law in your mind, when they did it on a much larger scale?
