The article is almost a year old. Since then, Quad9 fought back. -- September 2021 - Quad9 objection https://www.quad9.net/news/press/internet-security-non-profit-quad9-files-appeal-against-copyright-lawsuit-from-sony-music-germany/ https://www.quad9.net/news/press/internet-security-non-profi... -- November 2021 - German court decides to keep the injunction until the trial ends https://www.quad9.net/news/press/german-court-rules-against/ https://www.quad9.net/news/press/german-court-rules-against/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quad9#Sony_Music_injunction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quad9#Sony_Music_injunction So, saying that "Quad9 are going to start blocking" is quite a strong claim. Maybe this kind of title could be kept for after the German court settles on a final decision.

It also feels a bit like the title is editorialized in that it makes it sound like they are doing this by choice instead of fighting back and being legally forced to. Perhaps a better title would be something like 'Avoid using Quad9 DNS: They are being forced (or made, if forced is too inflammatory) to block pirate websites'

  That's how piracy works - shaming people for following the law to pretend that they're innocent victims, while making millions of dollars pushing "It's not stolen" content and destroying the creators of the content while screaming about fighting the distributors

    Honestly, even excluding the fact that the topic here is piracy, the title still seems to be worded in a way that makes it sound like doing this was a choice made by Quad9, and saying that they are being legally required to do it is more correct and less editorialized

      Yes, that was my point Pirates are writing this story, and pointing the finger at people following the law, as if the pirates aren't just being punished for being criminals
