Strictly speaking, it's a legal product to purchase and own. It can however be used for copyright infringement if you so desire.

Yes, it is legal to purchase and own a Kodi box.

To clarify, there's nothing illegal about buying hardware with Kodi pre-loaded. What the authorities are cracking down on is people selling boxes which are pre-configured to access copyrighted TV shows, films and pay-per-view events for free.[The bold text is my emphasis.]

Plenty of headlines suggest that users are being targeted by law enforcement, but in fact there is no evidence of this. Organisations such as Fact are actively after those who sell and distribute copyrighted material or devices which allow people to access it.

And here's another 'redtop' newspaper article that says something different:

Is Kodi legal in the UK?

A quote from that article:

Is it legal?

The software itself is not illegal, nor is it illegal to sell devices with Kodi pre-installed on them.

However, many of these Kodi devices come pre-loaded with third party plug-ins and add-ons that allow users to stream pirated content to their TV.

Selling these "fully loaded" TV set-top devices is a breach of the Copyright, Designs and Patent Act 1988.
