Kodi will happy co exist as a small user base of fanatics and moral knights. Developers would be happy to assosiate there name with it (there you go Da-anda). Althought I strongly believe the project kodi as that will die sooner than later.

My question is I have been using Classic Kodi Skins which I am guessing I can't any longer. Can I say Classic Skins for kodi? I just do skins using aeon nox and not builds. If I don't say kodi somewhere how will people know what they are?


Classic Skins
(customization services for Kodi available here)

typical schneegans they removed the top bar the states the site is not official, and are back to their old games... using the Kodi name all over the site!

It's clearly designed to mislead users... all this while asking for donations and handouts... shameful profiteering!

Edit: and 'is fair use' is a million miles away from 'can be fair use sometimes.'
'fireTVnews.com' sounds kind of official, associated with Amazon, could cause confusion etc. No?

Edit: Oh and thread about it on xda.

'fireTVnews.com' is now 'AFTVnews.com'

No addons just skins and all free. Mike Silvo is aware and I have even posted screenshots on his forum. I cannot use Kodi anywhere to denote the skins are for Kodi? I do not have a website by the way. I deleted it last night. My 6 whole members lol.

If you can explain how someone posting a couple of skins on their site comes under cyberpiracy prevention I'm all ears.

Edit: Interestingly - that section only applies to people 'intending to profit...'

nobody said that having a website with a couple of skins is falling unter cyberpiracy. Our policy also mentiones that, if we get asked and agree (!), Kodi can be used in domain names. We're sorry for the users that only had good intentions in mind, but we're so fed up with the current situation that we at least for now want to wipe the slate clean and go from there carefully. We're no company, have no interrest in getting closed source, selling the project or whatever - all we want is to protect the name of the project we devote our love and time to. So please bear with us when we come off a bit harsh and fight against anyone who comes our way atm.

I'm sure we'll be more sensitive on the long run, but we also don't have the resources to check each and every website in detail. I mean, let's just think about regional community forums - who can check them in detail if the share our piracy stance or not, so it's easier to act. I'm not saying that the easy way is always the right thing, but it's currently the only way we see.
