1. What is pirate content to one person is legal to another in their country, so blocking 3rd party addons, for who, only US downloaders?
2. Look how XBMC started. You needed a MODDED XBox to install it. Yes, you had to mod and violate copyright laws on an original XBox in order to install it. What was/is the purpose of XBMC/Kodi to play every known format of video? If it's to play legit video, keep the codec support down. Has anyone seriously ever ripped a DVD legally to Realmedia format? Or flash video or quick time? No. The broad format support is to support the broad amount of pirated material, especially back in the day. Everything was ripped and pirated in all different formats, and thus, a media player to play all those pirated formats was made.
3. As said, emulator support seems to be ok. Backing up BIOS and games are still not legal in some areas, so why support it. And do you seriously think every single person running an EMU has backed up all their GBA carts by hand to their PC? Sometimes backing up a BIOS involves circumventing copyright protections.
4. Backing up Blurays and DVD's involves breaking copyright protection, yet supported.
My point exactly
