KODI has come a long way. Some smart TVs now run Android or XBian, which allows KODI to be installed directly to the TV. That should increase in the future.

Kodi, itself, doesn't do that. That would be the same as making a Windows machine or Mac illegal because you can torrent/stream on them

And in actuality, the addons (apps) on Kodi don't even really stream illegally. They take streams, aggregate them, and allow the user to connect to already existing streams.

But, once again, they're really doing the same thing that you can do via google or any other search engine, so you'd be trying to make a user interface (basically) illegal, because the addons themselves aren't doing anything illegal.

The law is being broken by the sources that stream as well as the users who stream, but not by kodi or the addons.

In a poor analogy, trying to charge Kodi or addon makers with a crime would be like trying to sue the vehicle (or makers of the vehicle) used for delivering drugs in a drug transaction.

Technically, KODI is simply a media player. It's the plugins you add that actually do the dirty. I realize that seems like a complete copout, and in a way it is. But it's enough to make it completely legal. Similar to the fact that Microsoft can't be held responsible for some illegal 3rd party application you install in Windows.

KODI itself goes to great lengths to separate itself from potentially illegal addons.
