re: Copyright infringement for using Kodi

If you blindly install kodi with any addon, think it's okay, and do whatever you want and get caught, you deserve every bit of a penalty for your ignorance and stupidity.

Could you offer some constructive input?

I haven't seen any Kodi install instruction that suggests any type of additional steps for protection of this kind.

I got one of these a few years ago back in my rookie torrenting days. Nothing ever came of it.

How about just not stealing the fricking movie to begin with?

I didn't chief. Someone else acquired it by some means, (possibly legally, possibly not) and decided to share it with me.

i bet none of you motherfrickers remembers the good ol days of REPLAYTV when they added a feature where you could access your videos over the WORLDWIDEWEB and very quickly an 'amateur' website sprang up where everyone was sharing their homemade DVR (standard def) and even a search field was added

oh the good ol days. i remember thinking it was magic i could watch an episode of 'twin peaks' i missed from someone else's shared web-dvr.

this was like 1998.

frick YOU AND YOUR FANCY KODI shite.

Does anyone know or somewhat know, how Exodus works?

I assumed it just pinged the various hosts to see if links were still active for streaming. I assumed the list gets updated from time to time.

Exodus does have insane speeds so is it possible, there is some torrent use going on? Torrenting built in?

Seems a bit fricked up to let the owners of the infrastructure also own the companies providing content to be consumed over the infrastructure. Talk about a conflict of interest.

---

it's only a conflict of interest if you're trying to justify using content without paying the proper licensing/purchase costs

and owenr-distributed content is likely the future

then the license was violated and you stole the content

showing a movie to small groups (without commercial motivation) in your home is within the license, so it's not an apt comparison (if you want to "go there"). your friends who own blurays can't go throw the movie up on a projector for the neighborhood to watch

Ever watch a dvd with a friend? Guess what, you broke the copyright agreement.

Ever loaned or borrowed a dvd? guess what, you broke the copyright agreement.

NVM... SFP, who actually is a lawyer, has already dropped a truth bomb. Your physical copy will degrade over time, and cannot be in more than one place at a time. Which is why you cannot legally make copies of the DVD, CD, etc.
