Gawd you could bore for England. How many times do you have to repeat yourself (at great length)?

A brick isn't illegal, but you can use it for building a house or for breaking into a jeweller's shop. That's the key difference here. It is the 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.

What part of "streaming is not illegal" do you not understand?

The same part of wilfully participating in criminal copyright theft that you don't understand.
