Maybe you didn't read the ruling fully. Quad9 already complied with not resolving pirate domains in Germany, just like ISPs do in every country, but the Leipzig court wants their enforcement to go beyond Germany due to VPN users circumventing this. Here's the full issue copied from below in the thread: > German court decisions are normally limited to Germany, which is why Quad9 has implemented geoIP on its infrastructure in Germany to prevent the domain names in question to be resolved for users querying from Germany. However, there are loopholes, such as VPNs, beyond Quad9’s control. The court deemed this not to be sufficient. The court’s decision ignored the VPN concept and implies that Quad9 must block these domains regardless of how users reach them or from what nation those intentionally disguised queries originate. Quad9 believes this is an exceptionally dangerous precedent that could lead to future global-reaching commercialized and political censorship if DNS blocking is applied globally without geographic limitations to certain jurisdictions.[1] [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35972790 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35972790
