Kodi boxes: What the recent court judgements mean for you (24 May 2017)
European Court of Justice: Fully loaded Kodi boxes are illegal
Perhaps the biggest ruling is the one which recently came out of Luxembourg. The EU’s highest court recently declared ‘the sale of a multimedia player which enables films that are available illegally on the internet to be viewed easily and for free on a television screen’ to be illegal themselves.
This is a verdict with enormous implications for the future of Kodi. While downloading a pirated film at home is obviously illegal, the ECJ has declared devices which enable piracy and make it easy to also be illegal.
