Kodi box block - Five arrested over illegal streaming of sports, movies and TV shows

KODI users are being warned after five people accused of selling "FULLY LOADED" streaming boxes were arrested in raids on homes


Kodi users have been sent "a clear warning" to keep the content they view legal after a number of arrests were made earlier this week.
Five people accused of selling modified versions of the popular set-top boxes were taken into custody during early morning raids.
The devices are thought to have been customised with unlicensed add-ons to allow users to watch premium channels such as movies and live football for free.
Kodi is a free software which is legal if used correctly but so-called "fully loaded Kodi boxes" break the rules on copyright.
The Federation Against Copyright Theft (Fact) says removing these devices from sale is now a top priority.
Devices You Need To Stream The Grand Tour
Mon, October 3, 2016
THE Grand Tour hits TV screens in November and here's how you can tune in to watch Clarkson, May and Hammond.


Kieron Sharp, director general of Fact, said: "These arrest should send out a clear warning to anyone involved in the sale and distribution of illegal set-top boxes".
"Set-top boxes loaded with apps and add-ons allowing access to copyright infringing material are very much illegal and anyone involved in selling these boxes should not be surprised to receive a knock on the door."
DCI Pete Ratcliffe, Head of the City of London Police’s Intellectual Property Crime Unit, added: “This operation is aimed at taking out distributors of illegal set top boxes in the north west of England.
“This industry undermines the legitimate sale of subscription television services which employ tens of thousands of people in the UK and whose contributions are key to the creative and sporting industries.
The day of action was instigated by FACT on behalf the Premier League, Sky, BT Sport and Virgin Media.
The five, who were from Bolton, Bootle, Cheadle, Manchester and Rhyl have now been released on bail following questioning.

Kodi is basically a free media centre software that anyone can use, modify, or add to.
Many shops sell Kodi-ready devices which are totally legal if used to stream free content or paid-for channels such as Netflix.

The developers behind Kodi are keen to point out that their software is designed to play legally owned media or content "freely available" on the internet.

Users can leave Kodi in its raw form or download Kodi add-ons which allow shows from the BBC and ITV to streamed as well as services such as Netflix and Amazon.


However, there are also unofficial add-ons that can be found via a simple Google search that allow TV shows, movies, Sky Sports, BT Sports and all of the 3pm kick-offs from the Premier League to be viewed.
All of these are illegal though..

Hello all, I'm new here and pretty much new to Kodi as well. Not a complete n00b but you know... ;-) I'm using LibreElec on an Odroid-C2 with an eMMC module. x264 mkv and x265-hevc works flawlessly, which is great. But I noticed some stuttering when ...

Can any one Help trying to download Kodi but only got windows 7 and the Kodi for here is Windows 10

Dear All, from a couple of day kodi 17 on my sony 50w809c doesn't show hd connected by usb port. Outside Kodi, with other apps, no problem. Google video and VLC works correctly and I can access to my sda1. The problem started when I set my pc (connecte...

I would now like to look into some problems with I have with my music collection (classical music). First, I want to emphasize that kodi does a great job and I really like to use it. I very much appreciate the roles concept.

The problem I will describe [with my very limited English] occurs in many cases, but my concrete example is the "Orchestral works" collection from G.F. Handel (click). To every track, I add the tag "composer", which is "Georg Friedrich Händel". I would now expect that there is one (!) entry under roles -> composers with that name. In fact, there are two entries: One is "Georg Friedrich Händel" and one is "Georg Friedrich Händel; The English Concert, Trevor Pinnock". The first entry is correct. But the latter is a different tag: album artist. Why does this appear unter roles -> composers?

There is one additional problem. It is a cd collection with six discs. I guess they where published some time ago as individual publications. So MusicBrainz put individual publication dates to these discs. I should have corrected them to the release date of the box set, I guess. Now, I don't have one (!) album "Orchestral works" but six albums "Orchestral works". Four of them are listed under the conductor "Georg Friedrich Händel" and two of them are listed under "Georg Friedrich Händel; The English Concert, Trevor Pinnock".

What I would like to have is one (!) conductor "Georg Friedrlich Händel". I don't know where the other conductor entry comes from and I think this could be a bug (but that's just a guess ). And I would like to have one (!) album "Orchestral works" which consists of course of six discs. I don't know if I can tell kodi somehow to ignore the publication dates or if I have to merge them to one date.

I hope that I made the problem(s) clear. What do you think about it?

Thanks a lot
Martin
