I was selling two used Android boxes with XBMC pre-installed on Ebay. This morning I received an email from Ebay stating:
Can someone from the XBMC Foundation please provide clarification as to their position regards selling products with XBMC pre-loaded?
Why did XBMC Foundation act to get my listings pulled?
Will this happen with all future listings of products with XBMC pre-loaded?
And what about Amazon listings?
Other retailers?

- Listings have been removed. A list of items that were removed can be viewed at the bottom of this message.
- We have credited any associated fees to your account.
Your listing was removed after the rights owner notified us that your item violated their copyright. We urge you to contact the rights owner directly for more information about why they requested the removal of your listing and whether you can relist the item.
