The answer is simple. don't go tethered to a central server. Remote overrides can only work for devices that have a two-way communication connection. Break the link and no problem. But then you have no 1 button purchase ability, or other conveniences.
For example, there is a multi-room wireless audio server that you can buy, called Sonos. You can have multiple pickups in different rooms and each room can listen to different music at the same time. Very nice. Highly rated. I'd love to have it. But...it won't run without a hook-up to the Sonos corp over the internet, for automatic software upgrades. Which means they can look at what I'm playing, track my preferences, and do anything they want to the software without my agreement. I don't own it simply because of that hookup requirement....
The choice is yours....
