They are in a difficult position because the entire point of their DNS resolver is that it blocks malicious sites (malware, phishing, etc.). Very easy for Sony to say, why can't they add piracy to the list? They "refuse to alter or lie to you" in their DNS responses - how would a malware block be lying if those other blocks are not?

I guess the issue is that they are ordered to block it for all users, not only those particular users who picked some particular lists.

And nobody would pick a piracy list, why'd you do it as a user.


Quad9 doesn’t let you pick lists. It’s a public resolver with no accounts. Everything it blocks is blocked universally.

You can use 9.9.9.10 - it has no filtering.

But even malware filter is supposed to cut malware, not pirated content. Cutting piracy while saying that you cut malware is def lying because pirated resources might not provide anything malicious for the end user.


But telling the court you shouldn't or can't block stuff falls flat when you are blocking stuff
