They're also putting news stories out that users of these so-called "dodgy boxes" are putting themselves at risk of having their bank details stolen. Legality aside this really does stink of desperation.

It's not just Amazon though. Most of the people I know with these things have the app installed on Nvidia shields and they're not using them to watch Prime content; mostly they have them to avoid the massive costs that Sky charge for sports coverage. The article linked above tries to downplay the savings as only about £13 a month. Sky TV alone can cost four times that for the Sports+Movie package.
