Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-205614) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 10, 2015 by IDI, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). We are rendering this opinion in connection with the prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) dated January 15, 2016. The Prospectus Supplement relates to the offer by the Company of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0005 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), in an “at-the-market” offering, which Common Shares are covered by the Registration Statement. We understand that the Common Shares are to be offered and sold in the manner set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement.

We have acted as your counsel in connection with the preparation of the Prospectus Supplement. We are familiar with the proceedings taken by the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the Common Shares. We have examined all such documents as we have considered necessary in order to enable us to render this opinion, including, but not limited to, (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the Prospectus dated July 21, 2015 included with the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”), (iii) the Prospectus Supplement, (iv) the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, (v) the Company’s By-laws, (vi) certain minutes of meetings and resolutions adopted by written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company, (vii) corporate records and instruments, and (viii) such laws and regulations as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of rendering the opinions set forth herein. In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of originals of such documents that have been presented to us as photostatic copies, and that the Common Shares will be issued against payment of valid consideration under applicable law. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein, which were not independently established or verified, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers of the Company.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Common Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We assume no obligation to supplement this opinion if any applicable law changes after the date hereof or if we become aware of any fact that may change the opinion expressed herein after the date hereof.
