you really are confused aren't you.
if you will look above you will see that you wrote "then I should be
going after the seller of the house for selling me a system he didn't
own."
to which I said "maybe, maybe not. again, read the contract.  did you
buy the house as is?"  [this means read the contract from where you
bought the house to see if the owner screwed you]
See where I said nothing about the alarm company?

Ok, so if I'm wrong that industry standard contract wording states that
the COMPANY retains ownership of the part that contains the PROPRIETARY
INFORMATION [which I'm not] then why don't you have a working system?

even hand holding doesn't help you, does it.
THEY ABANDONED IT!
IT IS NOW IN YOUR POSSESSION.
YOU CAN DO AS YOU LIKE WITH IT!
YOU CANNOT FORCE THEM TO WORK ON IT UNLESS YOU SIGN THEIR CONTRACT AND
PAY THEM!

Listen if you don't like my advise don't pay for it.  Go get a lawyer
and pay him to tell you what I already have.  Then grow a pair and
report back that I was right all along.

If you want one so bad just sign up and get one.  Again nobody has to do
anything you want just because you want them to.  They don't have to
give you free service or a free contract.  That freedom stuff cuts both
ways.  Are you a commy?  You think Bass will give you a free board?  No
he will just help you bad mouth legit alarmcos.  good luck
