EFF: The War on General-Purpose Computing Turns on the Streaming Media Box Community

The EFF highlightsa number of attacks against distributors of add-ons for the Kodi streaming media system."These lawsuits by big TV incumbents seem to have a few goals: toexpand the scope of secondary copyright infringement yet again, to forcemajor Kodi add-on distributors off of the Internet, and to smear anddiscourage open source, freely configurable media players by focusing onthe few bad actors in that ecosystem. The courts should reject theseexpansions of copyright liability, and TV networks should not targetneutral platforms and technologies for abusive lawsuits."
