Bad news for Kodi friends who used add-ons for streaming. The popular Phoenix add-on has just stopped working…
It all began last week when Dish Network, a US satellite provider, filed a lawsuit against two of Kodi's well-known add-ons: ZemTV and TVAddons.ag.
With the lawsuit, they accuse ZemTV of directly infringing the copyrights of various TV stations channeland TVAddons for the distribution of 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 series. From today this particular one additional along with a few others it 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 it is the second, and that we will soon see new ones applications which ensure the privacy of those in charge….
Until then, a spectacular turn towards torrent sites is expected…
