Internet Protocol television (IPTV) boxes (also known as set-top boxes, Android TV boxes or Kodi boxes) are small plug and play media servers, originally designed to allow consumers to stream legitimate content (locally stored or legal online content). Despite the legitimate use of this equipment, software is widely available (like Kodi extensions) which connect the boxes to illegal content through streaming websites, file lockers and BitTorrent trackers.

Australia’s exceptions are too narrow and prescriptive, do not reflect the way people today consume and use content, and do not readily accommodate new legitimate uses of copyright material. Legislative change is required to expand the categories of use deemed to be fair. Even when this occurs, changes have simply ‘caught up’ with existing community practice — Australia did not legalise the wide-spread practice of home VCR recording until as late as 2006, by which time most VCRs were household relics.
