You cited Kodi in your OP. With Kodi you don't need to sign up with anyone so they'll have a lot of luck raiding offices.

Even torrenting is still alive and kicking.
You may be interested in this link, which appears to indicate that the net is slowly closing in on those who view pirated material. I think this is the start of a long campaign.

Showbox users take notice now!

Extract:

“Show Box is NOT a legitimate software platform for viewing Copyright protected movies. If you use ShowBoxApp to view copyrighted movies, the movie studios may be able to see your IP address and your viewing history,” it begins.

While it’s hard for copyright holders to track pirating users who use Showbox to stream from central servers, those who use torrents can indeed get in trouble. The warning makes that pretty clear as well.

“Movie studios are cracking down on illegal downloading and are filing lawsuits against users of ShowBox app. Websites that promote and/or distribute ShowBox are also being pursued by the movie studios for promoting illegal activity,” it adds.
