Kodi isn't illegal. The addons which allow one to view copyrighted material are.

Having a device with Kodi installed on it will not mean you are breaking the law.

they'd have to prove you watched a stream surely. The guy arrested was selling pre loaded boxes wasn't he? makes it easier to prosecute than to prosecute individuals watching it

You can get legal paid for streams on Kodi like Amazon Prime and Netflix (as long as you pay for the individual subscriptions) as well as free to air TV such as the normal ITV & BBC channels.
Therefore Kodi isn't illegal - it is just providing you with a means to put all of your favorite entertainment sources together.
What is illegal is either you using it to access channels you haven't paid for or people selling devices which are "fully loaded" with downloads you are not entitled to see without having paid for the subscriptions.
As you say Shandy, they are not going to go around millions of houses and check out if you are watching illegal streams.
Plus they'd have to stop all VPN's which as far as I understand are legal to use to stop people having your bank details, etc
Not that i know anything about any of these goings on ...

Saying Kodi is illiegal is just like saying Internet explorer, edge, Chrome, Firefox and any other internet browser is illegal too.

The add-ons merely scrape website streams that are accesible from any browser. It's putting the shits up the TV companies however, as Joe Public can now go and buy a fully loaded box for 20 quid and start watching stuff with no knowledge and a very minimal outlay.

Kodi isn't illegal.
Having the add ons isnt illegal
Watching it isnt illegal as such.
Selling devices isn't illegal.
Selling devices that you advertise as free when you should be paying for services is illegal.
Providing an area to view is illegal ( pub etc )

its not even the add-ons which are illegal one could say. its the transmitting of data that is protected by right's management that is illegal. but rights holders have been subventing the system of law of ages so its no shock that things that shouldn't be illegal suddenly are.

Honestly not sure why people stream films and music on shoudy servers because its free. You can subscribe or VoD demand from places like amazon, apple, google on amazing servers for rather cheap.

Is the correct answer. Although that third line is the kicker, and as I recall there's a European case about it.

I've still yet to see the day someone is prosecuted for watching a copyrighted stream.

Surely, it's a civil and not a criminal matter, so why the arrest?

Ata a guess, I would say it's a civil offence to watch copyrighted streams without paying for the right, it's a criminal offence to make money from allowing others or enabling others to access said material (same as it's a criminal offence to sell counterfiet dvds and cds)

Yes, probably. It's a case of the law protecting the corporations again.

Normally they just sue people for ridiculous amounts of money.
