TVAddons is famous — some would say infamous, even notorious — in Kodi circles. The controversial Kodi addons site has been the subject of a lawsuit and even abuse from Kodi itself. Last week the site was mentioned in the Online Notorious Markets report produced by the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) — and TVAddons is not happy.
The report refers to the site as a “piracy add-on repository,” but TVAddons is quick to point out that it has never received a single DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) complaint from MPAA members or affiliates. The site accuses the MPAA of deciding to “drag our reputation through the mud.”

The MPAA’s Online Notorious Markets report is something “generally reserved for the most egregious of copyright offenders,” says TVAddons. Nevertheless, “despite the fact that no MPAA affiliate ever sent us a single DMCA complaint in all our years of operation,” the site is mentioned very early on in the report:
TVAddons concedes it has had something of a brush with the MPAA:
The site says that not only has it never received a single DMCA complaint from MPAA members, it has only received five in its entire history, and two of those turned out to be bogus. It also says that it has always complied with such takedown notices, acting within an average of six hours.
In a bitter response to the MPAA’s report, TVAddons points out that it has “absolutely no control over any of the web sites which are scraped by Kodi addons” and it also doesn’t “have control over the usage or misusage of addons.” But the site does have an announcement to make:
Although tvaddon.ag is indeed, as the MPAA says, offline, TVAddons lives on at tvaddons.co .
