Amidst the massive crackdown on the new Kodi system, which has been used to illegally stream copyrighted contents, there are still reportedly several add-ons that are currently working.
According to Hull Daily, UK Turk's Playlists, Noobs, Nerds Repo, BoB Unrestricted are now back with a new alternative URL. Zen add-on has been renamed as Elysium, while both 1Channel and SALTS are also updated and could be found in a new repository called k313vra.
Players Klub Beta, which is new on the list, allegedly appears to be unaffected with the clamp downs. Other Kodi add-ons still up and working include Specto Fork, Skynet, Wolf Pack, Openload Movies, Flixnet, Supremacy, and Genesis Reborn.
It could be recalled that just last week, TVAddons, the unofficial library of Kodi add-ons, mysteriously disappeared, leaving its domain names unresponsive after the DNS entries were removed. Users trying to enter the site received a browser error message or are redirected to a page of TVAddon's domain name registrar uniregistry.com.
But aside from that, several other add-ons have also decided to just thrown in the towel including Phoenix, which offers a huge range of channels, broadcasts, movies, and TV shows. Developers One242415, who is known for his work on Navi-X, and Echo Coder also made the same decision.
The recent moves follow not only after satellite service provider Dish Network accused ZemTV of directly infringing several TV channels and TVAddons of distributing the questioned adds but also after at least 30 major entertainment companies launched alliance to crack down online piracy on a global scale.
Dubbed as the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment, the coalition aims to present a united front of all major contributors and distributors, instead of taking a fragmented approach. It will also coordinate with authorities to shut down pirate sites and services, file civil litigation, and form new relationships with other content protection groups.
