In an ongoing escalation of its fight against online sports piracy, media giant Canal+ secured court orders compelling DNS providers Quad9 and Vercara to block access to pirate streaming sites in France. Quad9 says that it's determined to appeal what it sees as an absurd application of copyright law. For now, however, it will block the targeted domain names globally.

BS solution that doesnt apply to the problem.
Problem: The DNS doesnt resolve the domain anymore so https://www.foo.bar/ resolves to 0.0.0.0
Solution: Change domain or directly connect via the IP.
Problem 2: What's the IP if you can't resolve it first. There aint telephone books anymore.

Solution: while not dns block, write down domain + ip in /etc/hosts.

There aint telephone books anymore.

What is megathread then? Put ip there, then do /etc/hosts solution.

I am thinking more about a general "phone book" and not a specialized section in the yellow pages.
Amd connecting to google via IP is not possible. Same for other companies and organizations that utilize obfuscation of the actual servers like reverse proxies and load-balancers.

But we talk about solution for dns poison of website. Not dns death in general.

Huh? We are talking about a dns provider being ordered to resolve a domain.
