Re: They're not suing Kodi

Thing is, I can just about understand non-IT journalists jumping on a headline, hopping over to, say eBay and seeing all those adverts for "fully loaded" Kodi boxes and thereby putting two and two together to get five.

The don't do any due diligence to determine that, actually, there is no such thing as a "fully loaded Kodi box" and that what are being sold, as said above, are OEM boxes with a version of Android and Kodi pre-installed.

Some of them, to be fair (although not many from what I see) come with just a base copy of Kodi and none of the crud, but clearly most don't.

However...for a supposed tech journalist on a site like El Reg to get it so blatantly wrong just shows lazy bias for reasons we can only assume at.

The rest of us here, at least, can understand the disconnect between these kind of robbing low life's and what Kodi actually is, does and stands for. Just a shame so many others don't
