so does this mean that (for example) the olympics can require quad9 to stop resolving youtube because someone uploads a video to youtube that is a copyright infringement? what stops a malicious actor from claiming copyright infringement and causing sites like youtube, netflix, and hulu to be taken offline entirely while it's worked out?
- dane-pgp 5y agoPresumably YouTube would be able to intervene to convince the court that this is a disproportionate response, given that YouTube already has a system in place for copyright holders to request individual videos to be taken down. Whether this defence against collateral damage is, on balance, good for web users is a more complicated strategic question.
- mijoharas 5y agoPlaying devils advocate, there already is a system in place for copyright holders to request that any website is taken down that obviates the need for any DNS level blocking (ISP level blocking).
