| == General rule of thumb == | | ==So where do I get support?== |
| If you are unsure if you can discuss an add-on or video service on {{kodi}} websites (forums, etc), then you can often follow this rule of thumb:
| |
|
| |
|
| :{{big|''If an add-on or service that provides a ton of current TV shows and movies for free and seems "too good to be true", then it is probably bootleg/pirate content.'' }}
| | Every Add-on should contain the authors name, this found by opening the Context menu on the Add-on and selecting '''Add-on Information''' |
|
| |
|
| It doesn't matter if it's "just streaming" or your specific country has different copyright laws, if it still violates our [[forum rules]].

| | |
| | Generally a search of the Add-on's name together with the author name will give the location of where the author is active. |

| | '''XBMC TheCollective Youtube''' |

Revision as of 00:47, 17 November 2014
This is an example list of repositories and add-ons that have been identified as violating the Kodi forum rules. This means they have been banned from any official Kodi forums, websites, IRC channels and any social media accounts that are under the control of Team Kodi or the XBMC Foundation.
This list is only an example, and does not include all add-ons or services that violate the forum rules.
While Team Kodi does not regulate what users install or use, we ask that you do not come to any of the official Kodi websites for support on these repos/add-ons. Failure to do so may result in a ban.

- All discussions dealing directly with or linking to add-ons, websites, or services that violate US copyright laws ("pirated content") will be closed when a forum moderator has been made aware of them. The original poster or add-on creator may provide a link to a website not hosted by Kodi for further discussion and inquiries.
- Discussions for add-ons that link directly to pirated content and enables the user to access that content through the add-on will be shut down.
- All links to pirated content will be removed. Requests on where to obtain pirated content will also removed.
- "Pirated content" add-ons, websites, and services typically do not include the following (to be determined on a case-by-case basis if necessary):
- A. The add-on does not actually perform the act of accessing pirated content ("mistaken identity") [For example, Sickbeard, which performs no actual downloading or streaming.]
- B. The add-on has the potential to access pirated content, but is potentially useful for downloading legal content as well. [For example, an add-on that downloads torrents is not, itself, a problem, since a torrent can cover a wide variety content, including legally distributed videos.]
- C. The add-on links/accesses content in a similar way to a normal web browser. This is done under the assumption that if the content owner did not want the content streamed, the owner should have not made the content available to be streamed in their site. [For example, the Bluecop Repository.]
- D. The add-on accesses content with permission of the content owner, the content is "copyleft", or the add-on accesses content without the clear disapproval of the content owner. Kodi will do its best to comply with DMCA-related takedown requests.
- Thread originators or add-on developers may petition Forum Moderators to re-open a thread that was closed if he or she believes one of the above exceptions applies.
- Fair use exceptions apply for issues such as small video samples for testing and debugging, fanart and related artwork, video and audio summaries, subtitles, etc.
- These rules apply only to the XBMC.org/Kodi.tv websites. At no point will any user be prevented from using Kodi as they so choose, nor will they be prevented from adding additional add-ons from any source they choose to use.

So where do I get support?
Every Add-on should contain the authors name, this found by opening the Context menu on the Add-on and selecting Add-on Information
Generally a search of the Add-on's name together with the author name will give the location of where the author is active.
For example a search term might be:
XBMC TheCollective Youtube
