Kodi box: eBay and Amazon to crack down on illegal Premier League streaming

The two online retailers have issued warnings about the sale of devices designed to stream live football as well as films and television shows

Online retailers eBay and Amazon both plan to crack down on the sale of so-called Kodi boxes used to illegally stream live Premier League matches.

The English top flight is suffering from increasing numbers of people buying set-top boxes that have software installed allowing them to watch games without paying a subscription to official rights holders.

These boxes often run the legal Kodi media player and are then loaded with third-party add-ons that provide users with access to the illegal streams, as well as pirated films and TV shows.
