Ah yes, Sony, the same company who distributed rootkits with their CDs, with the justification being "copyright protection".
I'm truly shocked this company would ever do anything malicious.
Fuck Sony, I hope Quad9 can win this.
Good job Sony! You've really shown that greedy not-for-profit organization! Shame on them! /s
I checked with dig, both 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 resolve it, but Sony targets Quad9.
Of course, if they went head to head, both cloudflare and Google would have the resources to fight back while quad9 is just a non-profit.
They're bought from the looks of it, this is sloppy.
Out of caution, recommend everyone to avoid Quad9 & “Canna.to” & “Pirated copies of Evanescence's album” at least until the dust settles.
Of course they want easy wins at first, that way when they take on larger 'suppliers' they have court cases they've already won 'backing them up'.
Sony acting all greedy... No surprise at all!
Let me guess, will Quad9 start blocking even more websites preemptively?
Thanks. I switched to dns.watch after reading this.
What do you expect Quad9 to do here? Their hand is being forced, they don't have any options besides continuing to fight it in court unfortunately, which is what they're doing.
Not blaming them, but at the same time, they are being forced to comply and my pirating ass is having no part of it.
