In an ongoing escalation of its fight against online sports piracy, media giant Canal+ secured court orders compelling DNS providers Quad9 and Vercara to block access to pirate streaming sites in France. Quad9 says that it’s determined to appeal what it sees as an absurd application of copyright law. For now, however, it will block the targeted domain names globally.
If this whole topic is about French companies being forced to implement the blocks, I don’t think that’s that good of an alternative. Not that it necessarily makes it a bad alternative right now.
