Kodi illegal on 10:15 - Sep 22 with 2561 views | Jackfath | 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. | |

Kodi illegal on 10:36 - Sep 22 with 2522 views | shandyjack | 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 | |

Kodi illegal on 12:07 - Sep 22 with 2379 views | jedijack | 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 illegal on 16:37 - Sep 22 with 2164 views | Loyal | 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 ) | |

Kodi illegal on 16:44 - Sep 22 with 2153 views | phact0rri | 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. | |

Kodi illegal on 17:49 - Sep 30 with 1566 views | controversial_jack | 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. | |
