In a possible sign of things to come, Sony has won a key court case in Germany that could force Domain Name Service (DNS) providers, such as Quad9<\/a> and eventually others too (Google Public DNS, OpenDNS, Cloudflare etc.), to block access to a website due to internet copyright infringement (piracy).<\/p>\n

A DNS<\/strong> provider will typically work to convert Internet Protocol<\/strong> (IP) addresses into a human-readable form and back again (e.g. 123.56.32.1<\/em> to examplezfakedomain.co.uk<\/em>). Most such services tend to be provided automatically by your broadband and mobile provider, thus operating seamlessly in the background, without you ever really being aware.<\/p>\n

However, it’s also possible to replace the DNS from your ISP with one from a free third-party service, such as those mentioned earlier (there are many more). The vast majority of you probably won’t feel a need to use custom DNS providers, but if your ISP starts to inject content (adverts etc.) and filtering systems into your website browsing, or suffers a fault \/ is slow with their own DNS system, then you may decide to try a third-party service.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say that those with a little more IT knowledge often prefer to use a free third-party provider in order to benefit from the potential performance, privacy and security improvements. On the flip side, it’s also true that some people will use them in order to circumvent DNS-level website blocking by ISPs, some of which will have been imposed by a court ordered injunction (frequently used in the UK by copyright holders).<\/p>\n

Naturally, Rights Holders are aware of this and so, after forcing UK and other ISPs around the world to block websites for internet piracy, some of them are now turning their attention to DNS providers. Torrent Freak<\/a> reports that Sony Music<\/strong> appears to have landed the first blow by obtaining an injunction in the District Court of Hamburg<\/strong>, which requires the Swiss non-profit DNS-resolver Quad9<\/strong> to block access to a music piracy site.<\/p>\n

The court reportedly ruled that the DNS service was not eligible for the liability protections that other third-party intermediaries, such as ISPs and domain registrars, often enjoy. The court also seemed to accept Sony’s argument that Quad9 already blocks problematic websites (e.g. those that contain malware – viruses, spyware etc.), despite that being a very different consideration.<\/p>\n

Quad9’s General Manager, John Todd, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Quad9 derives its threat intelligence from qualified experts on malware and phishing, not from the claims of parties without relevant expertise. We would be unable to maintain our 98% success rate in blocking cyber-threats if we accepted input based on self-interested claims, rather than on forensics and expert analysis.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The DNS provider and its owner(s) now run the risk of being hit with a fine worth 250,000 Euros<\/strong> per “infringing<\/em>” DNS query, plus potentially 2-years in prison, if they fail to comply with the injunction (that seems a touch excessive). On top of that, we could imagine that many more Rights Holders may rush to make use of this for similar websites. Naturally, Quad9 intends to appeal and so the battle is not yet over.<\/p>\n

The case also raises a question over how long it might be before Rights Holders turn their attention to Virtual Private Network<\/strong> (VPN) providers, although many of those exist in countries where such cases might struggle to reach a successful conclusion. The catch here is that such court processes are very expensive, and the costs soon mount up, for both the Rights Holders and DNS providers.<\/p>\n

At this point it may not matter so much what the English court system thinks of this approach – although under current laws they could potentially grant a similar injunction – as many of the aforementioned DNS providers are based outside the UK. In short, when it comes to DNS providers, cases raised in other countries may affect the services used by people in this country. Quad9 may soon become an example of that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
