I am taking issue with something I saw yesterday. I was in the Mall in Reno NV, (The Only One). There was a Kiosk Stand selling what is called a Dragon Box. They have a website and promote re-sellers.

The stand said stop by and see if you qualify, (Really? A free and Open Source). They had 3 TV screens going and they were selling pre-loaded PRE 17.1 version loads, (16.1), for $350 each with additional costs for upgrades and warranties. They are claiming to be the provider of the service and charging for everything they can get away with.

I am totally pissed because these are the Jerks that ruin everything for others because of greed... Is there anything that can be done?

I have been with KODI, (XBMC), from the start and I have to admit that I have friends and family get a device and I load and configure for them. I do not charge and any help that they need is provided from me for FREE. I have 3 dozen people at least that rely upon me. I primarily provide to friends and family in their senior years that cannot afford the criminal fees for television services. To me it is the window to their world and I help keep them current and their minds active.

These JERKS ruin things that help people in the name of the almighty dollar.

Best Regards,

Mookie

Unfortunately these bottom feeders are everywhere. Kodi developers are aware and hopefully a solution is on the table !!

I should keep quiet, but...

1. I share your anger at those who ruin Kodi's reputation by selling boxes loaded with shady add-ons to allow unauthorized access to non-free programming.

2. "Robin Hood-ism" isn't morally superior to number 1.

3. I'm aware of my own hypocrisy, thank you very much. I don't use streaming add-ons but I have been known to visit a torrent site every now and then.

Have a look at this thread:

Cool down. What I understood today there's no need to worry. No additional action is needed. Everything is under control.

Were the boxes branded as Kodi?
