Its a DNS based block, so overriding your default DNS server is enough to circumvent it. I think Dns over Https also works.

Pretty sure this was a thing in the past, but that currently it has to be a court order.

  The wikipedia article seems to concur with you, although this seems to be a voluntary policy by CUII, the members could still decide to not wait for any court orders and block whatever they want.

      > Daher habe die Bundesnetzagentur die CUII gebeten, die Überprüfung mutmaßlich urheberrechtsverletzender Seiten künftig gerichtlich vornehmen zu lassen. this is not a requirement, they're just asking. The BNetzA just wants to not deal with it apparently.
