Perhaps the XBMC Foundation could sue some of those tabloids/publications for slander when they don't distinguish Kodi from piracy addons?

Could be a new type of income for the XBMC Foundation or winning a lawsuit might at least discourage others for posting lies about Kodi.

Philip Dewe and Tom Davidson reporting for The Daily Post (Trinity Mirror Group) on March 11th, 2017 at <http://www.dailypost.co.UK/news/north-wa...e-12727160> state that

Kodi software itself is set to be banned by the Intellectual Property Office (IPO)

(The article is a cut'n'paste of the Daily Mirror article posted above. Newspapers in the UKofGB&N manufacture a decreasingly small number of original reports -- they just regurgitate and recycle articles from other newspapers.)

Does that mean that once it is banned, only criminals will be using Kodi?

Let's all think about submitting news-tips to these types of clickbait "journalists" and hint that both Google Chrome and Firefox web browser is now also set to be banned by the IPO in the UK. It would be fun to see if any of those "journalist" jump on that too and post even such lies without doing any fact checking at all, as they appearly usually don't check any facts.

One might otherwise want to write and suggest to them to speculate on how the IPO could ban people using Kodi's PVR features to legally to watch television in Kodi with a physical TV-tuner and antenna through a PVR backend (that is non-IPTV). Then the IPO would have to be able to block television signals to stand-alone TV-box appliance that uses physical TV-tuners and antennas.
