Clamping down individuals won't help!
There is no point clamping down individuals will help.
If the system really wants to clamp down on the kodi usage then it needs to be collaborative approach with the Major Online Retailers/Sellers/Wholesellers - like Amazon, Ebay, Shopify, Aliexpress, Alibaba. The day when the government and the law makers are able to convince these business from blocking these devices to be sold on their website you will then see major decline of Kodi devices being sold.
On the other hand we are only talking about the kodi devices that are pre-installed.
What about the devices that can be used to install Kodi on. The apps can be installed on most of the devices like - mobile, laptop, rasberry pi, Amazon fire stick, apple tv, chrome cast, you name it. These type devices can be configured for any kodi add-ons. To stop users from using these services you don't have to catch the small time sellers, simply work with the ISPs and block the application, same like Torrents, lots of ISPs have blocked it and I am sure Kodi can easily be blocked too.
There isn't any point arresting and prosecuting a single local seller or users who watch them. Lots of sources on Kodi that is streamed requires some kind of subscription anyways - good quality content ones though
On the other note - XBMC has never been illegal in the past so why Kodi.
Torrent blocked, Kodi is popular,
Kodi get blocked - Something else will come up.
It is best to keep an open market so people have a freedom to choose and comfortably make choices. I watch movies in the cinemas as you get different experience all together, people who enjoy watching in cinema will always go to have an experience they enjoy.
Cracking down individuals on kodi is no good and not going to help anyone.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
