General information rather than legal advice; rules vary by country.
The distinction
Media player software is normally lawful. What matters is the content accessed. European case law has held that knowingly accessing infringing streams is not protected by the temporary-copy exception, and similar reasoning applies in many other jurisdictions.
Practical exposure
- ISP notices and, in some places, throttling or suspension.
- Settlement demand campaigns in certain countries.
- Far greater exposure for distributors and device sellers than end users.
- Policy violations on managed, school or workplace networks.
The zero-risk path
Licensed services, including a large free ad-supported tier, remove the question entirely.
