How the shit am I funding criminal activity when I don't pay them anything?

    I'm the same as you, but there are a lot of people that pay (monthly fees I believe!) for pre-built "android boxes".

    Depends on the method, but a lot of normies find these pirate websites where you stream directly through a player on their website, and here they can serve ads, i.e. get money. Pirate Bay and the like also serves ads.
