These Kodi addons are still working during illegal streaming clampdown

More and more add-ons for the service are shutting down amid the clampdown

Kodi users are being hit by an ongoing crackdown on many add-on services , with millions of users blocked from steams.

While the Kodi service itself is not illegal, it is used by many people to stream content that is not being legally obtained.

Kodi is becoming increasingly popular with consumers, as TV and movie fans look for on-demand solutions to their viewing habits.

But more and more add-ons for the service are shutting down amid the clampdown.

Those who use Kodi boxes have endured another blow after TVAddons, the main library for add-ons, bafflingly closed down all of a sudden.

The library boasted 1,500 diverse Kodi additional items, many of which enabled clients to watch content- be it films or TV shows.

This incorporated the Exodus add-on, which is among the most used by Kodi users.

FACT chief executive, Kieron Sharp said: "This is not a grey area and that anyone using a device to illegally access film, TV, or sports, is breaking the law.

"Recent rulings have clarified that selling a device pre-configured to access copyrighted material is illegal and that consumers watching content via these devices without a legitimate subscription are also breaking the law.

“These add-ons have made it incredibly easy for consumers to access illegal content via the Kodi platform.

"This was their principal function and it’s a good step to see them shutting down in the face of perfectly valid legal pressure.

“We will continue to work with The Premier League, Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media and the film industry to crack down on these illegal streams.”

According to internet forums, a number of previously shut-down streams are now back online, including:
