Five held in 'fully loaded' Kodi streaming box raids

 

 

The director general of FACT says "anyone involved in selling these boxes should not be surprised to receive a knock on the door".

 

Five people have been arrested for being involved in the sale of modified set-top boxes that allow copyrighted video to be streamed for free.

The so-called "fully-loaded" Kodi devices enable users to watch football matches, premium TV channels and films, without having a subscription.

 

A number of boxes were seized at the homes of the suspects, who were held in Bolton, Bootle, Manchester and Cheadle.

Nothing new.

It's illegal to pirate streams, but it's easier to go after the sellers than the consumers.

Whew.  I was a little surprised until I realized these arrests weren't in Thailand...

Someone please PM me if they catch anyone in Bangkok.   I suspect half of the vendors in some of the buildings here would disappear.

Well to be honest, the people that are probably losing out the most are TrueVisions, but it seems that in almost every sphere of business they could not organise a pissup in a brewery, so you're probably perfectly safe.
