There wasn't a single takedown request by any of them, which is required by law, to remove infringed content. So this reminds me of some unlawful tactics much in a same manner to what Kim DotCom suffered. TVA always had a dmca contact on their website FWIW and still does. RE: Kodi/XBMC in the media?

I'd wager that more people pirate the EPL outside of the Kodi eco-system than they do inside it. These dodgy IPTV groups usually ship with an equally dodgy Android application, and whatever content Kodi is reading via add-ons is coming from a website run and operated elsewhere, too. Why is this a Kodi issue and not an internet issue? I'll never understand. RE: Kodi/XBMC in the media?

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story has never been more apt. RE: Kodi/XBMC in the media? Post links here - FXB78 - 2017-08-17 What's particularly poor is the line "Kodi, Perfect Player and GSE IPTV are all believed to have been blocked, although more sites are likely to be targeted in the future.". That just sums up the knowledge of the journalist right there doesn't it, none of those applications are 'sites' which provide any content whatsoever, a quick google search will tell you that.

Post links here - tjay260476 - 2017-09-25 from what I gather, it's still a precedent, as he has pleaded guilty, hopefully this will stop other box conmen like him selling them, as it now shows they are against the law, whether or not he pleaded guilty or innocent...

Post links here - Av3nged - 2017-09-25 In layman terms judges are egotistical so they do not like to overturn other judge’s decisions to protect their decisions from being overturned. In this case the person pled guilty so no decision made by a judge so no president set. RE: Kodi/XBMC in the media? Post links here - tjay260476 - 2017-09-25 Ah, just re-read the article, and it was the 'prospect of one' and not 'one'....damn me reading stuff online during work hours!!! (DOH!) My bad makes you wonder if his lawyer told him to plead guilty, so it did not make landmark/precedent. Didn't realise what precedent meant in legalese, now I know why I aint a lawyer RE: Kodi/XBMC in the media?

So if the court of appeal defines some legal term, then lower courts must follow. decisions by courts of the same rank are persuasive only, like "2 other crown court judges have said X, but this is a developing area and I have had different legal arguments presented, so I disagree and say Y" is quite common. So while the 2 other judges have set a "precedent" - it is only persuasive on another judge of the same rank. Eventually a higher court will set them straight and create a precedent that the lower courts must follow. Quote:In this case the person pled guilty so no decision made by a judge so no president set.No precedent on the ingredients of the crime, but likely a precedent (in the second sense above) on sentencing level.
