Sale of Kodi 'fully-loaded' streaming boxes faces legal test
- 27 September 2016
- From the sectionTechnology
Image captionBrian Thompson's case is thought to be the first such in the UK
A legal case concerning the sale of video-streaming set-top boxes that can access subscription content for free began on Tuesday.
So-called "fully-loaded Kodi boxes" have gained popularity, but the legality of their sale is in question.
Middlesbrough trader Brian Thompson appeared in court, accused of selling equipment that "facilitated the circumvention" of copyright protection measures.
He pleaded not guilty to three charges.
The trial has been described as a landmark case by industry watchers.
Mr Thompson will next appear at Teesside Crown Court on 27 October.
What is Kodi?
Image captionKodi turns compatible devices into a "media centre"
Kodi is free software designed to bring videos, music, games and photographs together in one easy-to-use application.
It began life as a program called Xbox Media Centre (XBMC) that added a feature-rich media player to the original Xbox games console.
The open-source project was developed by volunteers and can now be installed on a variety of devices including smartphones and computers.
It can also be loaded on to television-connected devices such as the Amazon Fire stick or Apple TV box, although it is not supported by those manufacturers.
What are Kodi boxes?
Image captionSome set-top boxes can be modified to run Kodi
Some shops sell ready-to-use set-top boxes or television sticks preloaded with the Kodi software.
They are also known as Android boxes, because many of the devices run Android as their primary operating system.
The developers behind Kodi say their software does not contain any content of its own and is designed to play legally owned media or content "freely available" on the internet.
However, the software can be modified with third-party add-ons that provide access to pirated copies of films and TV series, or provide free access to subscription television channels.
Some traders sell Kodi boxes preloaded with such third-party add-ons that can access pirated content. It is the sale of these "fully-loaded" boxes that is the subject of a legal case.
What do the makers of Kodi say?
Image captionThe makers of Kodi do not want the software advertised in this way
The developers behind Kodi have said they do not support "piracy add-ons" and have criticised those who advertise "fully-loaded" set-top boxes for sale.
The group said it would maintain a "neutral stance on what users do with their own software", but would battle those using the Kodi trademark to sell a "fully-loaded Kodi box".
Discussions about "pirated content" and add-ons that provide access are removed from its message board.

I once asked for two Ice creams off a bloke in a van outside of the Pitch and Putt in Southport.
He asked for something ridiculous (as in 3 times the normal price in those days, equivalent to a tenner these days), I told him no thanks.
He said 'you've got to pay for them now, I've done them now!' (cornets in hand).
I said no thanks mate, I'm not being ripped off!, and walked away

Still feeling a hangover at this hour.
'Kin ear infection. Only good thing is the wife has maxed out the insurance deductible so I got to go to a walk in clinic rather than wait for an apt.
I've got antibiotics that give me the squits. Pain in my face when I talk or chew and stabbing pains in my inner ear when the drugs wear off and I'm not able to take another dose.

No using them. He had two in the house. He's now awaiting a court date.
Special TV boxes for watching illegal streams and films mate.

Those minor headaches that do not respond to Tylenol and don't go away for days. It's moved behind my eye now and I am thoroughly annoyed.

Cheers fella. Is it illegal to watch programmes via this kodi?
Same here after a rather eventful weekend in Newcastle :
One of the lads had to pay for the hotel carpet to be cleaned after throwing up. ( 20 plus gin and tonics )
One was mugged, by a Geordie smack rat whilst bladdered and looking for a chippy
One was slapped across the face by a rather large lady in a chippy.
Saw one of the best pub fights I've ever seen, which was txt book Newcastle - " Rrrr u lookin at my burd like ".
One of the lads won over £500 by only lumping on horses with odds over 30 - 1.
It was a great weekend
