Followed by Popcorn Time repository, Motion Picture Association (MPA) and Amazon under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) GitHub disable user account , which supports the "Blamo" repository and the "Chocolate Salty Balls" add-on for the Kodi media center. GitHub did not completely block the account, but blocked Blamo.
The Chocolate Salty Balls add-on allowed you to watch comedy shows on Kodi, and many popular add-ons were distributed through Blamo, including Neptune Rising and Placenta for watching movies and TV shows. It should be noted that attempts to block Blamo have been made since 2018, and in January 2019, the MPA obtained a decision in the Federal Court of Canada to suspend the account of the maintainer of the repository, accused of committing acts that contribute to copyright infringement.
The MPA sent requests to the defendant to comply with an injunction ordering MrBlamo to stop hosting, distributing and promoting infringing add-ons and repositories for Kodi. The last such request was sent on December 19, 2019, but was ignored, so MPA has now sent a request to GitHub, but it is only partially completed so far - the repository is locked, but the account continues to be active.
Addendum: GitHub blocked RDP Wrapper Library programs, with the reason cited as a violation of the service's terms of service. RDP Wrapper Library allows activation in Windows a disabled, but actually present, server handler of the RDP (Remote Desktop Host) protocol, and also removes the restriction on the simultaneous connection of several clients to one computer, which violates the license agreement Windows Home.
