What are you fucking saying to me you little shit

>implying this isn't a very obvious April Fools joke
It says it was seized by fucking ICE you twits, not even the FBI.

i forgot it was april fools, we'll see in due time i guess

april fools
>Do i have to go back to torrenting?
this makes no sense, i torrent and use kodi

Wait until April 2?

no everyone on the internet is american you cunt

It was an open-source project they're not allowed to do that, they have no control over bootleg addons. I surely hope this is an april fools prank.

It's real. ICE is in charge of customs enforcement and handles the bulk of counterfeit/overseas copyright claims. We saw how well the "I dindu nuffin" argument worked with Megaupload.

kodi doesn't host, provide access to, or otherwise encourage copyright infringement

It obviously provides access to copyrighted data,or at least it's used to.

It's fake, already figured it out from a web search. Funny stuff, but it seriously made me concerned for a second. The government has no right to meddle with this software.

which copyrighted data?

So is your web browser dipshit

>bootleg addons
this would be the closest thing to an excude to take down kodi, but it's no different to say, a chrome addon to stream from torrents or whatever (which do exist, fyi)
kodi is just a media player, and these dodgy addons aren't even in the official repos (unlike the aforementioned chrome addons)

Limewire used the same argument. 50 trillion dollar lawsuit later and they're out of business.

April Fools day isn't a burger only thing.

It's both an April Fools prank and them making a point about being lumped in with people selling boxes with Kodi and a bunch of streaming addons.

i think he means not everyone is familiar with what ICE is

Its a freak'n joke.. koditips.com/kodi-domain-seized-homeland-security/

kodi isn't a filesharing program
you can't install it, add any /official/ addons, and search for and download any copyrighted media

who's behind stuff like exodus and CC TV add-ons... who's funding them, for free and why? what's their end-game?

Everyone nose who is behind it.

no programs get seized uless they give out stolen shit

Cripple chan is down, too. Supposedly hacked.

Also, cock.li got sold to the NSA

ICE are the people that have been failing at stopping mexicans crossing the border for over 50 years now. they dont even use computers. stupid fucks.

This is the stock image for website seizures. You're an arrogant jackass.

ICE oddly enough does a lot of copyright enforcement.

>3 letter meme
let's make our own organization with 4 letters

That fucking romanian cuck, I knew he would betray us, it was a matter of time really.
