    but if you know how the technology works

    That’s like what, 2% of online users globally? Let’s say pirates are marginally more tech savvy, so maybe 10% of pirates? If their plan works and they can get google to block access to all sorts of streaming and torrenting sites, that will massively reduce the numbers of people accessing illegal content.

      Targeting DNS and killing traffic to an entire site is easier than the constant drumbeat of sending out takedowns for specific links to everyone. Way over the top, and of course they wouldn’t try it against a big opponent. Would love to see them make a case that YouTube should be globally DNS blocked, after all look at all the infringing videos and music that’s on there daily.
