DNS Piracy Blocking Orders: Google, Cloudflare, and OpenDNS Respond Differently * TorrentFreak

The part that I find interesting is that they want to redirect the domains somewhere else.

Whats to stop a country from making one of these orders, along with a gag order, to redirect traffic from an adversarial nation webpage to something they're hosting? Effectively creating a nationwide phishing attack

I really hope providers tell the governments/companies to fuck off... Here in Spain, they started IP blocking Cloudflare IPs because of legal demands by a football association (LaLiga), to prevent people from watching matches via IPTV... And blocking a lot of legal sites in the process.

I didn't even notice until I tried to use Heroic Games Launcher last weekend and I couldn't authenticate into EGS... turns out they block legendary.gl, so fuck me for trying to play Satisfactory. I couldn't make it work offline with Heroic, and by the time I added it to Steam with its custom proton profile, moved the save files and started playing, I already had to go. Way to waste my evening.

But hey! My server running a stack of arrs keeps working fine, and you can just use a VPN if you want to watch your football, so pirates are the least inconvenienced users :)))

Yet another example of media conglomerates and sympathetic governments helping increase the awareness and sophistication of piracy while doing almost nothing to prevent it. Good job guys! Slow Clap
