And it has its own police, of course. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c0/fd/c8/c0fdc8612e07d7562b25...
The safe, legal way to contact everyone is to publish in the commons. Establish prior art and do not claim intellectual property protections for the idea.

The most important thing is to raise this to the level of legislation and national policy, so courts are clear that uninvolved third parties, particularly non-profit operators of core Internet infrastructure, cannot be…
Quad9 is a public-benefit not-for-profit. Our purpose is to improve privacy and security. What else did you have in mind? Quad9 is special in that it's the only recursive resolver of any size that's not headquartered in…
If Quad9 were based in the US, it could just ignore the whole thing. But then, if Quad9 were based in the US, it wouldn't have happened in the first place, because any US court, particularly the US District Court for…
Nope, Quad9 was not started by IBM. It was an internal project of PCH, started in 2014 in response first to European privacy regulators who were being lobbied by Google for a one-off exemption for 8.8.8.8 in the run-up…
Hi. I'm on the board of the Quad9 Foundation, if anyone has any questions about all this. But, by and large, the folks commenting in this thread are saying about what I would: when Sony goes after the DNS, AND NOT the…
Hi. I'm with Packet Clearing House, which @elp mentioned. I would second all of their technical advice, but note that PCH is a public-benefit non-profit, so exists to provide service at no cost to governments (ccTLDs)…
I'm on the board of directors. If we were going to start blocking anything, I'd know. There are two domain names blocked by legal order in Germany, neither of them actually hosting pirated content. A whole lot of…
Hi. Please educate me. What technical details do I have wrong?
IBM is one of many donors to Quad9, but they have no seat on its multistakeholder governance board. https://quad9.net/about/foundation-council
They went after Quad9 (and not Google, Cisco, and Cloudflare) because Google, Cisco, and Cloudflare are all still hiding behind the Northern California District Court, where there are no consequences for privacy…
Thank you! Very much appreciated!
This is dealt with. The domain is no longer blocked. Thanks for reporting it!
Nothing has yet been proposed which is technically possible to comply with, to the best of our knowledge. There has been no mechanism proposed whereby we could be in compliance, nor has anyone proposed a way of meeting…
Or, the fact that you don't seem to be able to use dig, your loss.
We don't have any staff based in Germany, and none of us are traveling to Germany until this is settled.
Are you unable to resolve domain names?
No, actually, uncensoreddns would have been a much softer target for Sony... They're in the EU, while Quad9 is in Switzerland.
That is not exactly what the blog says. None of us will be traveling to Germany until this is settled.
There is no censorship. This is an ongoing dispute between a court in Hamburg and a non-profit in Switzerland. When the dispute is eventually settled, Quad9 either will or will not be providing service in Germany.…
Quad9 does not make money. Quad9 is a public-benefit not-for-profit foundation. It's supported by donations. Which are very much appreciated right now, because German lawyers aren't free.
Within reason. https://www.reuters.com/article/swisscom-court-idUSFWN20M0KT We'll see what happens.
While our donors appear to be happy to pay for us to contest this, it's very difficult for me to imagine anyone paying what it would cost to implement compliance. We'll see what happens once the dust settles.
