An interesting development. In the US, the CIA/FBI just block the site either through DNS or through the hosting provider. Now this case happens in Europe and in Germany, out of all places. It is interesting to see what this is likely to mean - but I do note that the "service" is not just a public resolver, but it pertains to block out malware and phishing. Thus Sony won the case. Kindest regards, Olivier

Sony Wins Pirate Site Blocking Order Against DNS-Resolver Quad9 (Updated)
Sony Music has obtained an injunction that requires the freely available DNS-resolver Quad9 to block a popular pirate site. The order, issued by the District Court in Hamburg, Germany, is the first of its kind. The Quad9 foundation has already announced that it will protest the judgment, which could have far-reaching consequences.
