It's hard to monetize
at VC scale, but that doesn't stop small-scale pirates and gray area business to use and make a living out of it.
E.g, in Brazil, Greece and (if you know where to look) even here in Berlin, it is not that difficult to find set top boxes that come with Kodi pre configured with a private tracker and some custom frontend to download movies and shows on demand. In Brazil you buy the box and you pay something like R$200 ($35) per year.
