Wow I just read the list of banned add-ons. I'm completely stunned! I am so new at this and everything on my Kodi is banned. Unbelievable!?

Why do you find it unbelievable? We do not support piracy here hence a lot of 3rd party add-ons are not supported or discussed. Piracy add-ons drag Kodi's good name through the mud.
Kodi is superb, reliable software for playing back your own legally owned local content as well as streaming from legitimate legal add-ons.

And I know with 100% certainty that at least one of the companies involved has specifically refused permission for the distribution and supply of their ROMs for free in any way shape or form (there's still money to be made off them apparently, even the old 8bit stuff.)

Yes the add-on is only acting as a conduit between Kodi and the source of this copyright material but isn't that the same accusation being levelled at other 'pirated movie'-type add-ons?

So here's the bottom line..... How much are Team Kodi going to pay me and my colleagues for supporting an add-on that allows our copyrighted games to be pirated to others? I accept Paypal BTW.
