> A flamboyant YouTuber known as Omi in a Hellcat was charged with illegally selling copyrighted TV shows and movies through an online service, prosecutors said.
Kodi is just the media suite, what add-ons one installs in it is neither their concern or their liability.
The same goes for similar offerings like Jellyfin/Plex, if the end user uses a pirated streaming service that is on them and the service provider (which Omi was.) It was this which got him into trouble, not the fact he used Kodi.
Omi got Omi in trouble, kodi is a tool that can play "illegal" downloads or your family home videos and grandma's church piano concert. It doesn't care which.
