British Police raided two locations this week, in a bid to halt the spread of Android TV boxes which are allegedly being used to illegally stream premium content.
A joint investigation, carried out by the Metropolitan and West Midlands Police forces and FACT, the UK’s intellectual property sentinels, has resulted in two arrests and the seizure of over 1,000 Android TV boxes, which could be used to stream premium sports and television channels, and other pieces of electronic equipment with ties to illicit streams.
The police raided two locations this week, one in Middlesex, which resulted in the arrest of a man and a woman, and one in Walsall, following which a man was voluntarily questioned by the local constabulary.
The raids aren’t the first time the long arm of the law has come down heavily on people involved in piracy. Since the establishment of the City of London’s PIPCU (Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit), which came off the back of close relations between the force and the BPI, a number of arrests have been made and thousands of piracy-related sites have been closed.
In some cases, arrests have resulted in serious prison time for those found guilty, such as in the case of Paul Hartrick, who was jailed for five years in 2012 for supplying people with imported cable boxes which were able to fully decode Virgin Media’s channels. Last year, a BBC investigation blew the lid on a south London-based operation that was selling ‘Sky TV’ boxes for £150 plus premium subscriptions for £10/month. 
Recently, Amazon has opted to withdraw Kodi (formerly known as XBMC) from its app store. The open-source media player, while not illegal itself, lets you install plugins that let you access content you may or may not be legally entitled to watch.
As Kodi comes pre-installed in many cheap media streamers, some of which you can buy on Amazon, it’s becoming harder for security services to keep up the good fight.

god bless all you pirates scallys and give the poor lads and lasses a break lol

why has nobody mentioned the boxes going down

has anyone heard of the  zgemma  cable  box

Heard of a Zgemma combo box sat/cable not heard of one being just a cable box, the blade combo 8000 is about as easy as you can get to setup similar to the Blade Combo/7000 setup

Sale of Kodi 'fully-loaded' streaming boxes faces legal test

A legal case concerning the sale of video-streaming set-top boxes that can access subscription content for free, begins on Tuesday.
So-called "fully-loaded Kodi boxes" have gained popularity, but the legality of their sale is in question.
Middlesbrough trader Brian Thompson is accused of selling equipment that "facilitated the circumvention" of copyright protection measures.
The trial has been described as a landmark case by industry watchers.
Mr Thompson will not enter a plea on Tuesday, but has told local media he intends to challenge the charges.

What is Kodi?

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?

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?

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.
A date for Mr Thompson's trial is expected to be decided on Tuesday.
