Amazon Removes NEXTGEN TV Tuner, Citing “Copyright Infringement”

Amazon removed the ZapperBox NEXTGEN TV tuner after identifying it as a product facilitating "copyright infringement." BitRouter disputes the classification and says it has filed multiple appeals.

I wonder where they got the idea…..

I feel their pain. Years ago I had a pretty good side business going reselling DVDs on Amazon, eBay, etc. I'd pick up cheap sets on online forums, Goodwill, etc. and sell them as a third party seller. I had several sets in my own collection that I'd bought from Amazon in other countries, or from eBay that were Region 2 or Region 4 since those were the only releases of some shows at that time. I resold several of them (clearly listed as being Imported, with the Region info on the listing) but someone who didn't even buy one of them reported it as being copyright infringement. I provided all the documentation showing where they were authentic releases being sold by Amazon themselves in other countries, but it went nowhere. My seller account is still "banned" some 20+ years later.

I would only guess that on Amazon as a commercial seller you are held to standards of market territories. eBay would be more the route for person-to person

Just looked on Amazon - the Zapperbox M1 is available for $274.95.

Way too early, IMHO, for such commitments to a system in flux.

Save my money. Pray for DRM to begone or subverted.
