For the time being. There is a lawsuit in the UK against a seller of preloaded Kodi boxes. If the seller loses that suit then what I have read is streaming TV and movies thru Kodi will be illegal in the UK.....And you know US providers are watching this case.
My guess is that the big cable providers in the U.S. are going to be lobbying hard and spending billions trying to make it illegal soon. The problem for them is you aren't downloading a hard copy of the file and have no way to share that downloaded file with anyone.

Here is the problem for the Content Providers. This isn't piracy and you aren't sharing a copy. With torrents they could claim you helped create thousands of copies. Here, you create nothing. Their real loss is the cost of going to the movie. $15.00.
It isn't worth the lawsuit.
I am sure they are lobbying hard to have streaming added to current laws that allow for harsher penalties and it certainly is possible with the Republicans in charge, they will try to tackle streaming.
