Kodi crackdown continues as more add-ons shut down

More and more people in Gedling borough are opting to use Kodi for their streaming needs – be it films, sport or TV.

But those using the service to access illegal streams could soon face a struggle as more and more add-ons used to access these streams are shut down.

This week it was reported that three more of these Kodi add-ons were shut down after the anti-piracy group group, Zira, threatened them with legal action.

Although Kodi itself isn’t illegal, the EU Court of Justice last month ruled that the sale of media players deliberately pre-loaded with add-ons linking to copyrighted content is illegal.

Zira then filed for an injunction to stop the owners of abeksis.com, kodi-senyor.co.il and kodiwizardil.net from continuing to offer their Kodi services last week, reports TorrentFreak.

However, before the cases went to court, all three reached a settlement with Zira and closed down.

They will reportedly have to pay up 100,000 shekels (£22,000) if the choose to resurrect their repositories or add-ons in the future.

All three sites have also replaced their content with a warning from Zira.
