I'd be interested in the Kodi teams official response to this

like with any addon not part of our official addon repository, this applies:
https://kodi.tv/article/freedom-of-choice

some additional thoughts on this addon specifically can be read here:
https://github.com/xbmc/repo-scripts/pull/1270


my personal, non official, response would be:
unless you want your MAC address, linked to a list of your (potential illegal) addons to end up on some remote server, don't install it.
(see: https://github.com/yunmingxiao/script.sa...py#L33-L34)

i'm sure the addon was developed in good faith, but data collection like that isn't acceptable in my book. (and it's very likely a violation of the GDPR as well)
Do not PM or e-mail Team-Kodi members directly asking for support.
Always read the Forum rules, Kodi online-manual, FAQ, Help and Search the forum before posting.
