Only their takeover by AT&T has kept them afloat this long. I understand that they will soon change their business model to 'net streaming. The reason that I use Kodi (rarely) is the challenge. In spite of what some may say, getting a movie (which isn't fuzzy, is in English and doesn't have strange ads for gambling) and viewing it to its conclusion using Kodi can be a very challenging and time consuming affair.
Admittedly item a) above can be avoided by using Roku or Amazon TV Firestick as I do mostly.
Are you suggesting stealing is justified as long as it is difficult?
