DNSFilter CEO Responds to Quad9 Injunction: “DNS resolvers should not police the internet for copyright violations”July 27, 2021
Sony Music filed an injunction against Quad9 (a non-profit DNS resolver) in Germany to block a specific site that houses links to peer-to-peer (piracy) sites. Quad9 is objecting to this injunction on the grounds that a DNS resolver is a far-removed third party when it comes to copyright infringement and these services are truly meant for cybersecurity—Ken Carnesi (CEO of DNSFilter, a DNS security service) sides with Quad9.
