Ah but I'm not talking about getting around the actual DNS part (even though that is indeed trivial). I'm talking about obtaining the content. Sooner or later they'll just ask a techie friend where they can still get their sweet torrents and they're back in business. They've blocked the pirate bay in the Netherlands for a long time and it was hardly effective at all. In fact it did the opposite: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2047227/downloading-increases-in-the-netherlands-despite-pirate-bay-block-study-finds.html https://www.pcworld.com/article/2047227/downloading-increase... And finally, don't forget: The people who are using Quad 9 are people who do know what they're doing. Otherwise they'd be simply using their provider DNS.
