The original content coming from Amazon and the Netflix seem to be good. with out 2 of those 3, i wouldn't have that. I have amazon prime only because of the shipping, video, and music. To many options with content spread all over the place makes me not want to bother with any of them. I've thought about getting a netflix account, but haven't gone further than thinking about it. I don't buy movies in digital format/file format at all. I don't rent from Amazon often due to the price. i seem to go 3-4 months with out renting anything from redbox due to change over/rotation. I do wish the movie/tv industry would understand the money to be made with a streaming service that would rent at the rate around redbox. At some point, probably still is, i remember reading similar things about showing movies you "own" to groups isn't legal with out the right approval/royalties. I think sorts organisations have a big thing about no mass viewings with out paying the right royalties/agreements. They had a ton of movies, but got shut down pretty quick. imo VidAngel had the right idea.stream the movies for a dollar or two (similar to RedBox, but you don't have to go anywhere) & offer censoring options if you want to watch something like Titanic with your kids. But I think movies are kind of always going to be a mess because of licensing. And they overlap with Google Music, Apple Music, etc. Spotify is a great example.30 million songs, 10 bucks a month to stream or download high-quality songs, etc. The movie industry needs to do what the music industry did. And you still can't find all of the movies you want to watch because of licensing issues, and there's no more Blockbuster to go down to browse anymore, so it's no wonder pirating services are popping up like this left & right. I use Roku, but even that's a mess: I have Netflix, which I let my brother stream, he has Hulu, which he lets me stream, I buy some movies off Amazon, my other brother uses VUDU & we share that, and then my own movies are on PLEX. IPTV is out (Sling, Playstation, and DirecTV), but it works like crap a lot of the time. Cable costs anywhere from $50 to $300 a month. Stealing cable back in the day was one thing, but gloss over the technology a bit with Internet streaming devices & people seem to think that just because they pay for Internet, that players like this are legit.Īnd it's not hard to see why, either. I literally had a 70-year-old lady tell me last week that she was so happy her son got her one because of how much money she was going to save into retirement. Which is laughable, because you literally only have to click "enable developer's mode" to install any Android app you want, but it also fools non-tech-savvy people into thinking they've made a legit purchase. That's basically what most people get off ebay.a jailbroken Fire stick. There are some legalities going on, like the one for this guy selling fully-loaded "jailbroken" Android set-top boxes from his shop: It doesn't help that even major news sites are offering step-by-step instructions now: ![]() KODI bans them on their site & wiki, but of course, KODI is a free, open-source project, so you can't exactly stop people from making pirated apps any more than you can stop people from ripping DVD's or Steam games or anything else. ![]() There are number banned plugins for KODI that let you stream stuff illegallyĮverything from PPV to movies & even pay-for underground IPTV is available through pirate plugins. KODI is just a media player, available for Android, like VLC, Plex, or anything else, but it does support pluginsĤ. By enabling developer's mode (built-in checkbox by Amazon), you can install any Android app you wantģ. A Fire Stick is simply an Android phone (minus the phone part), and a cheap one at thatĢ.
