A trader selling boxes which allow viewers to watch copyright material for free is set to be the first in the UK to face prosecution.
But Brian Thompson says that even though he’s being taken to court for selling Android boxes , he is pleading not guilty.
The trader, from Middlesborough, has been told Middlesbrough Council is taking him to court following an 18-month investigation in what could prove a landmark case.
The council claims the boxes are illegal, but Brian said: “I am pleading not guilty and I’m going to fight this.”
The kit – also known as a ‘Kodi box’ – allows viewers to watch programming like Premier League football and Hollywood movies for free, reports the Gazette .

Will be an interesting one to follow.
I do wonder whether the likes of Ebay and Amazon will finally start to remove listings for all the fully loaded Kodi boxes that they assist in selling.
