I don’t understand why they go on DNS level.
The web is hosted somewhere, the actual files are hosted somewhere (on a different site), yet they don’t go after either of these actual websites but after a DNS resolver? That’s just weird.
On the other hand my country now DNS-blocks Russia Today so I guess it’s just the minimal viable block
- folmar 3y agoThe DNS provider has some German presence, and the site and its hosting don't. The serving of torrent magnet links alone is not illegal in most Europe.
- yankput 3y agoThose are not actually magnet links, they are sharing it on one of these file sharing services ala rapidshare/megaupload of old days
- str3wer 3y agowell good luck going after a website that is probably hosted in an offshore country where piracy is legal and they won't even bother to answer to you. it's easy and enough effective to just block it dns level, most people outside here don't even know what dns is anyway so they won't bother finding a way around it
