Re: Kodi, legit or not?

Kodi addons mostly scrape websites for videos or tv channel streams and allows you to play them in the Kodi interface. It is the same as going to the website with a browser and starting a stream except without the adverts and all within the nice single Kodi interface.

The streams are usually flash for sports and tv channels and often http file lockers for movies and tv series. So for a movie the addon scrapes a site for a llist of file lockers urls with the movie on and then allows you to play as you download. Again it works the same as if you searched for the movie in a browser, followed the link to the file locker and downloaded to watch, except no permanent copy is kept, it just plays the current part of the movie from a buffer.

Kodi by itself does none of this but does allow people to code addons that perform tasks, which is what adds the functionality to watch copyrighted material.
