I am really tired of reading the 'we don't support piracy' speil the reality is thats what KODI is used for more then anything despite intentions otherwise. and its not something you are going to prevent OR have any say in no matter what you do. go ahead implement drm somebody will fork it strip the drm out and continue on there merry way OR worse it will simply kill the the project from the amount of backlash you would get

@GeneralFailure you seem you assume we give a fig about how many users Kodi has. We don't. All the asshats using kodi for piracy could disappear in a puff of smoke, and we wouldn't miss them. We don't make money from kodi, we are not competing in a market.

you are will contiune making the mistake of fighting a war you can't possibly win.

Well I wouldn't say we have won the war, but the position now being taken by Amazon is certainly one battle up in our favour.

The fact that you believe that Kodi would be forked with the intention of "stripping out" whatever DRM we decide to implement shows that you have an inherent misunderstanding of why the DRM implementation was there in the first place.

Enabling DRM will allow certain content providers onto our platform. It does not prevent non-DRM content / add-ons from being consumed, yes, even the nefarious pirated content.

It's a win win situation. The only objections should be from free software "purists" who don't like the idea of proprietary blobs anywhere near free software.
