&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;A piece of software being referred to as &amp;quot;bricked&amp;quot; simply means the program has been rendered unusable. Software bricking is a malicious practice in which a company revokes user access to a previously purchased product in order to pressure the consumer to make another purchase. This anti consumer practice is a common way for companies to attempt to increase their sales.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
