IMO, Pi starter kits should include the licenses for MPEG-2 and VC-1. This enables the Pi 2 to play recorded TV and DVD/BR rips. That makes the Pi 2 an extremely capable Kodi-based set-top box that can be controlled directly from your TV remote using HDMI-CEC.

There’s some noise dated 2012-2013 that the codec keys were cracked and that e.g. RaspBMC is including them for free.

May be worth looking into the problematics.
