We have put up more than a few stories lately about how different countries are putting up talk about coming down hard, primarily on Kodi pirate box sellers, rather than users. WalesOnline is reporting today that one of the offenders in the UK has just been sentenced after being found guilty of selling nearly $500,000 worth of pirate Kodi boxes in two years. The sentence? Two years suspended and 180 hours of unpaid work. And he has to pay back some legal fees for the lawyers for the persecution totaling about $25,000. Not really sure if we can look at this as tough or not.



David Leathley, for Brown, said that while the boxes themselves had not been illegal, “it was to his shame” that his client had added the extra software. Judge Peter Heywood said Brown was “industrious but misguided in some ways” and was “clearly skilled in the use of computer technology”.
