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.

Ah, that's annoying. I've had to switch from Real Debrid (turns out RD was run by cunts anyways, so good riddance) and now Quad9. Sucks, they had better response times than most DNS I tested.

dns0.eu is a French non‑profit organization

If this whole topic is about enforcing french block lists , I don't think a French org is that good of an alternative. Not that it necessarily makes it a bad alternative right now.

/edit: Changed wording from French companies to french block lists

What's the story with Real Debrid?

Owners acted very childish when people understandably sought out refunds, basically. Refusal to refund, acting as if they never supported piracy and it's all our fault, threats about giving french gov logs, stuff like that.
