  By Ernesto from TorrentFreak
  
  The people behind TVAddons and the ZemTV Kodi addon have asked a Texas District Court to dismiss the piracy lawsuit filed by Dish Networks against them.

  No Level of Copyright Enforcement Will Ever Be Enough For Big Media
  
  By Andy from TorrentFreak
  
  On an almost continual basis rightsholders are calling for tougher anti-piracy measures on top of more restrictive and punitive copyright law. It's undoubtedly a threat to current Internet freedoms as we know them. But really, is anyone truly surprised that entertainment companies still hate their content being shared for free?
