In conclusion, Kodi, in its unaltered form, is perfectly legal. A post made in April 2014 by Kodi’s developers reads: Kodi developers distance themselves from the murky world of add-ons and maintain the app and website in its original form, the software is as legal as a web browser. For instance, the ExodusRedux add-on scrapes the internet for movies and lets you watch anything you want. That specific scenario doesn’t always indicate illegal intentions, but it usually represents some form of illicit activities.
One big giveaway that an add-on leads to illegal use is when the app requires you to edit settings in Kodi like allowing installations from unknown services. For instance, if you’re watching a TV show, sporting event, film, or similar and you’d usually have to pay to view it, then you’re on dodgy ground. As a general rule, if you suspect a Kodi add-on delivers media that is too good to be true, chances are, it probably is. Kodi’s open-source nature means it’s also possible to download a range of add-ons, and some of the software’s most popular extensions do enter dangerous territory. This includes phones, tablets, smart TVs, and even streaming boxes like Kodi. The practice is known as illicit streaming and effectively relates to any time you watch any video content or listen to any copyrighted music without the copyright owner’s permission, using either software or hardware.
Kodi boxes are, for example, commonly used to access pirated football streams, movies, and music. However, just like a browser, torrent client, or any other computing tool, it’s possible to use Kodi for more nefarious purposes. In its untouched state, Kodi is a piece of software designed to stream content on a range of devices, and that means it’s perfectly legal.
