Bad news for Kodi friends who have been using add-ons for streaming. The popular add-on Phoenix it just stopped working…
It all started last week when US satellite provider Dish Network filed a lawsuit against two well-known Kodi add-ons: ZemTV and TVAddons.ag.
The lawsuit blames ZemTV for direct copyright infringement by various TV channels and TVAddons for the distribution of pirated material through add-ons.
The news has shocked many add-on developers, most of whom are running their software as a hobby without any financial incentive. So a possible treatment that can result in a fine of hundreds of thousands of dollars, does not help to find additional incentives for further development of additives.
This could explain why several add-ons closed the last 48 hours.
So one of the add-ons that TVAddons.ag had available to everyone interested was Phoenix, which gave access to hundreds of Movies and television series. As of today this plugin along with a few others has stopped working, and the Cosmix developer stated:
"In light of the current events, we have decided to close Phoenix. It was not easy for us. "
Was this the end of Kodi, or is it just a pause on the part of the developers, who so far did not care to hide their traces?
We believe that it is the second, and that very soon we will see new applications that ensure the privacy of those responsible….
Until then, a spectacular turn towards torrent sites is expected…
