I believe your anger is misplaced.  I was able to get to a direct download of
Polycom firmware, from their homepage, within 4 clicks, with no login
whatsoever required.

While Polycom at one time may have had a policy of only providing firmware
to distributors and resellers, that is no longer the case.  Their firmware is
freely available now to all comers.
