Kodi is only mentioned by Torrent Freak. In the 'real' news outlets Kodi wasn't mentioned once. (It was also only in local news, as far as I can tell, I tried finding news of it on national newspapers, but only found it on the local paper). EDIT: The original news story from the local paper: http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/police-trading-standards-joint-raid-9413857 RE: Kodi/XBMC in the media?

Sure hope they will kick theirselves RE: Kodi/XBMC in the media? Post links here - Cassiel - 2015-06-16 A possible reaction could be: Make a blog post on kodi.tv and engage users to not buy Amazon hardware. RE: Kodi/XBMC in the media? Post links here - stammie - 2015-06-16 The decision looks even stranger when a certain Kodi spinoff that does contain copyright infringing addons is still in the Amazon Appstore!
