I've only ever in fact had one add-on, to allow for an http API for remote control commands, which has since been part of the base software. I do have a form of Kodi system (It's actually the older form of Kodi, still named XBMC) but I don't have and never have had any streaming add-ons One huge problem I have with them, is they squarely and firmly label me a pirate, despite in reality not pirating and purchasing all of my media. Publishers could aid that goal by being less asshats about their content as well.

TO fix the problem you don't have to start giving everything away for free, but not being pricks about APIs would fix a lot of it. That's not quite as slick as using the Playstation, but it's not horrible.

I CAN play a bunch of PBS stuff legally on my Kodi box, I can play some random stuff from various local TV stations that have an accessible on-ramp, including some national networks,100% legally. Really I could just leave my Kodi box running and watch all of the movies I paid for by streaming it from the Kodi box to the Playstation, but let's face it, Kodi has a great interface. I would love it if I could just watch Hulu from Kodi without having to switch inputs and turn on my Playstation.

I USED to have a an app that could play Amazon video without having to switch inputs and turn on my Playstation, but Amazon actively thwarted the software that only worked if I paid my Prime anyways. I would LOVE to have a Netflix plugin that works with Kodi so I didn't have to switch inputs and start my Playstation. If content creators don's want people pirating their content they can make it more easily accessible. And with a legal crackdown looming, the Kodi ecosystem's present may matter less than its uncertain future. But the story of how a popular, open-source media player called XBMC became a pirate's paradise might.

Still, that Kodi has swallowed piracy may not surprise some of you a full six percent of North American households have a Kodi device configured to access unlicensed content, according to a recent Sandvine study. Like the Ron Popeil turkey roaster." Kodi itself is just a media player the majority of addons aren't piracy focused, and lots of Kodi devices without illicit software plug-ins are utterly uncontroversial.

"Kodi and the plugin system and the people who made these plugins have just dumbed down the process," says Dan Deeth, spokesperson for network-equipment company Sandvine. And then there were the "fully loaded" Kodi boxes - otherwise vanilla streaming devices that come with, or make easily accessible, so-called addons that seek out unlicensed content - that deliver pirated movies and TV shows with push-button ease. Paid alternatives like Netflix and Hulu made it easier just to pay up. Legal crackdowns shuttered prominent torrent sites.

But a confluence of factors have sent torrent usage plummeting from 23 percent of all North American daily internet traffic in 2011 to under 5 percent last year. A reader shares a report: For years, piracy persisted mainly in the realm of torrents, with sites like The Pirate Bay and Demonoid connecting internet denizens to premium content gratis.
