The Kodi addons site TVAddons vanished from the internet a little while ago before reappearing with a new domain. The site faced legal action over claims it provides access to pirated content, and there have been suggestions that the original TVAddons domain is being used by a law firm to spy on users.
The team behind TVAddons insists that this is not the case, and wants to set the record straight once and for all. It says that, in fact, everything possible has been done to protect user privacy. So are tvaddons.ag and xbmchub.com being used to gather evidence about Kodi users?

TVAddons puts the rumor to bed straight away. No. One of the reasons it can be so sure that the original TVAddons domain is not being used to spy on users is that the domain is being held by an independent third party, not the law firm that’s suing the site. While a court has already determined that the domain was illegally seized, an appeal process has been initiated meaning it cannot yet be returned to rightful owners.
In a post clarifying what has been happening, TVAddons says:
The statement goes on to say that there would be no legal way for the domain to be used to spy on users anyway:
The pertinent part of the statement finishes off by saying:
TVAddons says it isn’t going away — far from it. The site is not going to go down without a fight amd is currently in the process of building « the next generation of Kodi addons in the works, addons that will change the way people scrape content online. »
It is likely that the original tvaddons.ag and xbmchub.com domains won’t be back in TVAddons’ control for between 8-15 months — this is how long it could take for the appeal to be heard. In the meantime, the TVAddons teams wants to ensure that people use the new site ( https://www.tvaddons.co) to « avoid being preyed on by imposters and scams. »
