Sounds like the case is ongoing.

What seems to be getting very little attention is the fact that the boxes don't actually contain any of this copyrighted material. They just have software that makes it easy to download stuff. Not very different from a computer that comes with a BitTorrent client and a web browser installed.

(Meanwhile, I wouldn't be surprised if they are violating the copyright of Linux and maybe Kodi, by not providing source code.)

To be honest I have no problem with the lawsuits. These scumbag sellers are making major bank off the work of the hacking community that do the addons for free. I know this first hand because I have a friend that sells people android boxes and doesn't care about anything else other then the money that he takes in. A month or two after if it stops working his policy is tough luck, pay me to fix it.

I feel that the sellers are almost as bad as the cable companies here. If people want these boxes they should learn how to setup the boxes themselves, in addition to it being cheaper they won't ruin it for everyone by bring undue attention.

Kodi streams used to be better before the sellers got in on this shit. Now a days half of them don't even work.
