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.
With the lawsuit, they accuse ZemTV of direct infringement copyright from various TV channels and TVAddons for distributing pirated material through add-ons.
The news came as a shock to many plugin developers, most of whom release their software as a hobby with no financial incentive. So a possible lawsuit that may end up in fine hundreds of thousands of dollars, it does not help to find additional incentives to further develop the plugins.
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 TV shows 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…
