A 2.5 gbe card is 25$.
You can build your own 88 TB NAS for 3000$ instead of paying Kaleidescape 25000$.

And if that makes you sleep better at night, you can pretend that you're legal in the same way Kaleidescape does.

While in principle I do agree with you, this just shows that you never worked inside a yacht or superyacht.
Money? They don't care. If something breaks, they are flying you in with a spare already set up and ready to be plugged in and working.

Kaleidescape sells dedicated movie server and player hardware AND software, with a web store that connects you to high bit-rate movies. You're paying for the work required to create the software that comes on the hardware and is continually improved for the lifetime of the hardware. Comparing hardware costs is vapor.

How is Kaleidescape "pretending" to be legal? They have many contracts with Hollywood studios to sell their movies on an online store. They don't do movie import anymore, though you can catalog your discs and upgrade them to digital for a discounted price.
