us anymore....

A lot of the free content comes from pawned servers and computers that are on
high speed links …. the paid services are typically dedicated servers rented
with flat rate bandwidth … at least with that I’ve figured out ...

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.

we have a customer who literally has gotten no

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
