I got an email ad a few weeks ago about Shadowbox TV. I'm tempted considering my $200+ bill for internet, phone & cable but wanted to get some real user feedback about it. Anyone?

If you get it post up results. Sounds interesting. I cut the cable cord (except for internet) many years ago.

They are using KODI on that box just like you can with a jail broke Firestick that cost 1/4 of that. Do some research...

Better read this several times. ANYTHING that's licensed and streamed appears to be a copyright infringement. I think the Feds will quash this soon.

It looks great on the surface, and I hope it survives.

Am I breaking the law?
The answer is an enthusiastic NO. The beauty of the ShadowBox™ is that rather than downloading content off of the internet, you are simply streaming and can not be held legally liable for copyright infringement in any way since you never have any appreciable amount of copyrighted content in your possession at any one point in time. Here is what James Gibson, director of the Intellectual Property Institute at the University of Richmond law school has to say about the issue: “When the user downloads even part of a file — called pseudo-streaming — it counts as a copy of copyrighted material, which is illegal. And when the user streams content as a public performance — namely, when it’s shown to a substantial number of people outside the normal family circle and its close acquaintances — it also constitutes a copyright violation. Outside of these cases, accessing unlicensed streamed content is generally legal.” – Jim Gibson


Their disclaimer says you're on your own regarding copyrighted materials downloads...in effect, they're illegal, and they know it. I wouldn't expect it be be around long.
