content that
YOU choose to download/stream that is where illegality comes into play.
None of that is relevant to this discussion. You know that ripping off copyright TV and films IS illegal. There's no grey area here. Films that are currently airing in cinemas are NOT legally available on websites for streaming. When you see such a film available on a website
you know that it has been placed there illegally.
Kodi has nothing to do with this. Kodi is just the streaming tool.
There is a choice and it is
your choice.
You can choose to stream that illegal content or you can choose not to.
If you choose to stream it,
you know that you are participating in that overall criminal activity of ripping off copyright material. Everything else is hogwash and misdirection. Only YOU can choose to stream illegal content, no-one forces you to do it.
