Amazon says restricting Fire TV sideloading is about safety. It's also about piracy

In a recent interview with Cord Busters, Aidan Marcuss, Amazon's VP of Fire TV, warned that sideloaded apps can carry malware and enable piracy. He stopped short of explicitly linking piracy concerns to the decision to restrict sideloading on newer Fire TV devices, but the connection is hard to miss.
