The answer is an enthusiastic NO. The beauty of the ShadowBox™ is that rather than downloading content off of the internet, you are simply streaming and can not be held legally liable for copyright infringement in any way since you never have any appreciable amount of copyrighted content in your possession at any one point in time. Here is what James Gibson, director of the Intellectual Property Institute at the University of Richmond law school has to say about the issue: “When the user downloads even part of a file — called pseudo-streaming — it counts as a copy of copyrighted material, which is illegal. And when the user streams content as a public performance — namely, when it’s shown to a substantial number of people outside the normal family circle and its close acquaintances — it also constitutes a copyright violation. Outside of these cases, accessing unlicensed streamed content is generally legal.” – Jim Gibson
