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)
