Who is paying for all this bandwidth that the *servers* are
providing for "ill-legitimate" content?

Kurt,
I read somewhere that kodi needs about 10-15meg connection to
work correctly. Not sure if that was for live tv or
everything. Think I have the article bookmarked at the
office. I'll check in the morning and post it if I find it.

I am getting more and more calls every week from clients
saying that their "streaming isn't working." Upon
investigating each one of these cases the customer always has
purchased a "jailbroken" firestick loaded with KODI and they
are expecting to watch all kinds of movies for free. From
what I can tell this is very un-reliable compared to just
paying for Netflix. Sometimes the streams work and sometimes
they don't. I basically have been telling customers that what
their doing is no different than the old satellite days where
people put the hacked cards into their set top boxes and get
all the satellite channels for free. But those cards were
always getting "zapped" and you were constantly having to get
new cards and re-program cards so your spending so much time
dealing with the "un-reliable' TV watching experience that it
would have just been cheaper to pay for the service legally
in the first place. My solution for these customers has been
to just tell them to pay $10 for Netflix and be done with it.

out of the 250 or so "warnings" received through this
morning, about 80% appear to be tv shows and random episodes
of such tv shows. that is why i was thinking kodi. perhaps
he browsed around just to see what would work and what
wouldn't. i've never played with kodi but if this guy has
this volume of entertainment on his hard drive i would be
surprised and would say he has no life. plus he has been a
customer for a while - he isn't anyone new.... :)

To be honest, unless he is using some odd P2P addon for Kodi
it's unlikely. Most of the addons comb the net for the videos
and aggregate the links for you to watch on Kodi - which
means your not sharing it back. Some kind of popcorn time
variant which is built on bittorrent is more likely, but I
don't know if any of those still exist.

hours.
either he has downloaded half the internet or perhaps he has
one of these new illegal kodi boxes.
some of you with more experience than us in dealing with this
- is it likely he has a kodi box? The alerts seem almost in
real time
but then again, they also seem to be coming after we turned
his service off....
I know there is a safe harbor provision out there where we
could basically put on our website any copyright violations
must be delivered
to us in writing and we could basically ignore these.....but
we haven't gotten that many in the past.
thoughts?
thanks
