The problem is that LibreELEC is piracy-adjacent. So you get these bogus take-downs because different people draw the line differently, and fighting a legal battle is 1000x as expensive as the outcome is worth to most people.

you say in the video that you use this setup to watch YouTube. I love watching YouTube with Kodi as it shows no ads. I guess they don’t love that.
I’m not saying that justifies the strike, but it might be connected

Using the Internet is piracy adjacent, by your hypothesis.
That’s just bullshit.

Not my hypothesis. And it is just bullshit, but if you pay attention, they have made similar runs at taxing and controlling the internet periodically since the 1990s.

Didn’t they recently greenlight adblocker advertising?

This scene from A Clockwork Orange is how I view Google’s attitude of entitlement when it comes to exposing people to ads.
No sir, you don’t have the freedom to decide what gets displayed on your screens and even if you don’t block ads, you must not ignore them or put the volume on mute while they play.
Are those ads promoting scams? Are those ads delivering malware to your computer? Stiff shit buddy! You must view the ads.
