We have it all set allready.
* some things i can not post as it will give the person an advantage/pre knowledge of what will happen.
A onetime warning to this person has heen send asking to stop harrasing people claiming for the trademark.
The best thing is this person to stop and the Foundation can take over properly getting the trademark back.
Note; if the foundation needs help in europe/benelux to enforce law on the trademark please let me know.
There are also other trademarks under his name that has been soly used just to mislead people.
We are getting backed by the company involved at this one so we will also include it to make the case even stronger.
Clever marketing has nothing to do with damaging others, unfortunaly some think they can do anything they want without any counter act.
He stepped into the wrong pool this time.
PS; people from the benelux that want to be included into the case please send me an email at (Martin at .. you guys know the url)
Even if you dont have any issues with this person yet, you might be the next on the line.. remember that.
Lets see where this goes...
Thanks a lot guys.

Hello Martijn,
Too bad the thread is beeing redirected towards another subject..
1. If you want you can change my forum name, no problem.
2. My version is based on SPMC and build by one of your devellopers, this is available for download. So i see no issue here.
3. Our version based on SPMC is not default loaded with addons by the way. There is a service besides the KODI app ( seporate ) that provides an install service...
4. i do not preload xbmc with any firmware exept the firmware i make "officialy" for MINIX wich is your sponser.
I am an wel known android develloper that also does a lot of community work just like you guys.
Too bad i have to defend myself when trying to protect your interest ..
But i think that is totaly another discussion, maybe another thread?
This is about a brand/trademark hyjacking ( Your brand/trademark! )
You are from The netherlands also and i dont know if you know these guys, i dont say anything else as i realy have no idea....
If you want to discuss my case i suggest to open a new topic, i dont have any difficulties with that. please dont blur this topic by turning it into another direction.
With or without your help i am going to push through this case anyway if needed.
Just because this guy thinks he can own the world (including the trademark you worked hard on ).
PS. We dont need the "KODI" name, we can easely rename our versions as we allready have search SEO potentials but that is not what this is about.
Can we please keep on topic?

Yes, this is two separate issues. The takeaway from this is that this other group has no legitimate claim to the Kodi or XBMC trademarks. Our legal representatives have already taken action regarding this, before this thread was even started.
That being said, please correct the issues that Matijn brought up. Otherwise, the next e-mail you get about this will be from the real XBMC Foundation, and you won't be able to ignore that one.
