Recently the Beast Kodi build has received a copyright notice and tweeted out he would be stepping down. If you are not familiar with the Beast build or you are living under a rock, it is one of the most known builds in the Kodi community. Since the notice, they have closed the domain http://www.thebeastkodi.com. So what does this all mean? It pretty much is a wake-up call for all the Kodi builds. The companies came after the Beast’s personnel and pretty much said he “take your shit down or else”.
We all have our personal taste when it comes to the way we want to set up our Kodi app. It is good to have options. Not everyone has the knowledge on how to make a build. The thing that is an issue here is that The Beast didn’t host any files, tv channels, etc. He just became a target and they want to make an example of him in the Kodi community. Every country has its own laws regarding copyright material. We’ve heard of box sellers getting busted in the UK for selling devices loaded with builds.
It’s a gray area in the Kodi world. Add-ons provide the content but the end user doesn’t host the files. Its is not illegal to stream but the way things are going, anything can change in an instant. But good news for you Beast supporters they are back. Do your research and look up the new URL. With all the recent events amongst sellers, Youtubers, we just need to all know that we don’t own Kodi. We all should contribute and do what we can to enjoy it while it lasts. Trying to take down others is definitely not the answer.
