Not really news, then, is it?
It's important news for pirates, because if you've set cloudflare dns resolvers in your *arr stack then certain things might stop working (e.g. blocked indexers). I just switched my system to another DNS service because of this.
What'd you switch to I usually just go w cloudflare
I switched to Quad9 since I like how they fought and finally won on appeal the Sony lawsuit (see https://torrentfreak.com/dns-resolver-quad9-wins-pirate-site-blocking-appeal-against-sony-231208/)
Wait Quad9 won against Sony in the end?? I wasn't aware of that.
Yeah, but they are facing the same crap in Italy and now France too. Because they lost in Germany, now copyright holders are taking legal action in different jurisdictions in the hope of getting a more favourable ruling (to them). My concern is that over time it'll be harder and harder to find a DNS provider that'll correctly resolve piracy-related sites.
