Kodi is an all-in-one home entertainment center that lets you organize and watch your local content as well as stream almost anything online. Roku devices on the other hand are highly capable and they allow you to watch tons of content both free and paid. Having Kodi on Roku therefore seems like the ultimate scenario, but can you install Kodi on Roku?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i>Caution: You need a VPN for Kodi on Roku<\/h2>\n

Third-party Kodi addons do not host any of the content they present. These addons work by scraping for links from all over the internet to bring you content. Most of the streams you get are however pirated, and watching content through them is illegal.<\/p>\n

Though much of the legal effort over the years has been directed to pre-loaded Kodi box sellers, copyright agencies and governments are now closing in on Kodi users.<\/strong> For example, in the UK, under the Digital Economy Act 2017, you could face a 10-year stretch at a magistrate\u2019s pleasure!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apart from that, thousands of Kodi users have received DMCA notices for illegally streaming copyrighted content<\/strong> just because they didn\u2019t use a reliable VPN. Millions of others have also had their connections throttled by ISPs<\/strong> due to illegal streaming or excessive use of bandwidth.<\/p>\n
