Five people have been arrested, accused of selling set-top boxes modified to stream subscription football matches, television channels and films for free.
The sale of so-called "fully loaded Kodi boxes" has been called a "top priority" by the Federation Against Copyright Theft (Fact).

I think in my 45 years on this earth, and all of the times I have gone to the movies, I can count on one hand the times I was not able to get in at the time I wanted. Usually 1-2 months after release you pretty much can sit wherever you want. In no way whatsoever would I overpay to get a ticket for the theater. For a concert I can see that because, scalpers.
