I researched owning a box before buying and building one , as long as I don't download content or profit from it then it's a legal gray area if they ban ownership of the boxes like the did in the UK and truly make it illegal,then I'd get rid of it tomorrow. But they wont because theres too much money to be made from it.something like 4 million house holds use third party add-ons on kodi The makers of the add-ons say they're potected by the fair use doctrine sec 107 on copy righted material . Till the courts sort it out ,or I get a C&D letter from someone or Comcast blocks it from being streamed I'll continue to watch.
But is streaming unlicensed content online illegal? Jim Gibson, director of the Intellectual Property Institute at the University of Richmond law school, told Business Insider that streaming online content breaks the law in two cases.
No big deal. It’s more entertaining than the movie was.
Breaking the law is breaking the law. Sinning is sinning. So (to me) streaming a movie is the same legal/moral issue as breaking the speed limit or carrying where you’re not supposed to. I’m not going to worry about any of those three things.
And for that matter, checking CFF while on the clock is theft. So we’re all guilty. And I’m not gonna sit here and say who is more guilty than somebody else.
...and it doesn’t justify anything, but I only watch movies I wouldn’t go see. So nobody is missing out on my money anyway. The other option is I just wouldn’t watch it at all.
