Haven't xbmc been asking eBay etc to take down similar distributions as they associate xbmc with illegal practices? Can't that be applied here?

So you have the source code? Why not put it somewhere public and publish the URL?

I don't. They claim everything is legal when you ask them via the contact form on the webshop.

If they were behaving legally they would be providing the source. Full stop end of story. Read gpl2.

Well they are hardly going to admit to doing anything illegal are they, how stupid we would that be?

The Dutch Reclame Code Commisie did not agree with that sentiment: https://www.reclamecode.nl/webuitspraak....586&acCode

No, the box itself is NOT illegal.
Yes, downloading is illegal. And streaming is considered the same as downloading. Because of that it is illegal to say that streaming is legal and therefor he is wrongly advertise the box.
However the box itself is not illegal. Using it is. People also buy swords, knives, (certain) guns etc. All of them legal to sell, illegal to use.
Quote:Men verkoopt een toestel om illegaal films te bekijken. Dat is op zichzelf niet verboden. In de uiting doet men echter aan de consument voorkomen alsof een en ander volstrekt legaal is, dit ten onrechte. Klager wijst in dit verband op de tekst:

That's even more sad from a poor user's point of view, that is buying this box. We should find a way, that this won't happen in the support of kodi, be it the name kodi nor anything else.

I also don't agree with the statement that nothing is downloaded and it can be compared with YouTube.
Enable downloading is just as simple as enable a setting for it.
And regarding YouTube. YouTube is a controlled service, nothing illegal can be found there, can't be said for DITV!

No, it's not sad; it's great. Dutch government made those laws to protect individual users. Fact is that a free codebse is uncontrollable. Only thing that can be done is excellent stewardship. There you have the solution.

Sorry, can you explain your reasoning a bit more in detail?
When I buy something as a user and later realize, that I am not allowed to use my new box at all, I would feel sad. How would you feel?

Stupid.
But at least my government protects me for this stupidity. Would you rather see those poor users in court? And do you really think you can control forks of a free codebase?
In the view of Dutch government, Jinx might be the criminal. Not a single user, not XBMC Foundation and not team XBMC.
