 Tom here for more systems. And if there's one thing we can probably all agree upon It's that DNS doesn't need lawyers, but here we are me making a video about this quad 9 is being sued by Sony Sony has a problem and they've decided to take it out on the nonprofit DNS company That's very privacy oriented, which I've done several videos about linked down below quad 9 now I believe they went after quad 9 because well a smaller nonprofit for public good companies such as quad 9 Is probably an easier target and less well armed in terms of lawyers to defend against a lawsuit like this So Cloudflare and Google are easy examples of companies that provide public DNS But I bet their legal team is just a little bit bigger than that one over at quad 9 Now Sony and the reason they're bringing this case This is all happening specifically in Germany and I've mentioned it before about 11 months ago And this is kind of an update where they have filed in August of 2022 another injunction And the case still hasn't well come to a head now I'm really hoping quad 9 wins, but just in case they don't this is a reason You should be donating to quad 9 to help fund the legal fund That is the defense against Sony because it's going to set some really scary precedents Essentially Sony is alleging that well websites that may infringe upon their copyright shouldn't be Resolving in DNS resolvers. That's a really weird reach around if you have a problem with a copyright problem You should go to the source. There's other mechanisms to deal with this But filtering DNS based on the claims of Sony doesn't seem like the precedence we want to set And obviously what happens in a way most case law works is a small case Maybe one and that is the precedence that which they keep going to larger courts once they have enough Momentum and precedence is set. They will then go after the larger companies and while other companies will probably follow Going hey, this is a clever way for us to take down things We don't like and I see quad 9 is fighting hard against this But hey, I'll leave a link to the blog posts and everything else I'm just here to one raise awareness about it and two Mention that you can donate if you have the money don't do it if you're broke But if you have a few extra dollars You could donate to the folks over at quad 9 because they are a truly nonprofit Organization and he would like to help out and put that towards legal funds Hey, that's another way me as a citizen of the internet I can offer help so I have donated money to them if you have a few spare dollars You can donate to them to help fight Sony that would be great Also, just raising awareness so more people can be angry and enraged like I am about this and keep an eye for things Like this because there are places out there that want to defend the way the internet works and keep these things from well Giving us a worse internet overall if any of these cases go through This is just a new angle on the whole old copyright fight That's what I see going on here and maybe some you want to dig into this as well Nonetheless, that's my thoughts on it. Leave your comments down below head over to quad 9 There's a link down there right to their donation page if you can have a few spare dollars to Go ahead and donate to them and other organizations that I'll give a worthy mention to it's gonna be the electronic frontier Foundation who also has interest in these type of rulings that break the internet and are just the wrong way to go about things So screw you Sony and hey, I look forward to reading the comments. Thanks
