Kodi Piracy Lawsuit makes ZemTV, Phoenix, and other addons disappear

Once again another Kodi piracy lawsuit has appeared. This time, the very well known addons Phoenix addon for Kodi, SALTS Kodi addon and ZemTV plugin for Kodi have been targeted by a Kodi piracy lawsuit that made their creators remove them from the public reach. As most of these addons are developed and maintained by hobbyists, it would be a very high risk for them to be involved in lawsuits stemming from projects that they do on their free time, with little to no economic return.
