 User ID: 74885369 United States05/16/2018 08:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A Roku spokesperson told Variety Tuesday night that the outage had only affected a small number of users, but a number of users had taken to Twitter to voice their confusion about a puzzling detail: Instead of the streaming apps of their choice, they got to see a warning from the FBI, informing them that the channel in question had been removed “due to repeated claims of copyright infringement.” Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72170638 [link to www.cnet.com (secure)] Boom the system is in place to shut you down. Never understood why people pay a fee to allow them to tell you what you can and cant watch. Use an open source solution, its at least free. |

Very true in fact cell phones should have custom firmware and multi sims in case one shuts you down you got a backup. |

KODI itself is completely legal, as it does not provide any content what so ever and is intended/designed to be used as a home media center/server. You will need to research yourself on the plugins needed to stream. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 75852509 United States05/16/2018 09:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When a roku channel is pulled for illegally showing certain movies or television shows (music videos even), the post the FBI warning image. The same way VHS tapes had them at the beginning of a tape. The FBI does not work with roku or have a backdoor into their servers you fucking morons. |

If you are dumb enough to buy it from someone, that is your own stupidity. Picture is great actually. The picture is only as good as the source. Shitty source = shitty picture. It is more than something used for streaming. You can use it as a library for your own movies, mp3s, pictures, etc. Retard. Last Edited by BrokenTech on 05/16/2018 09:44 AM |
