Following another setback in its legal dispute with Sony Music, Quad9 has decided to block pirate site Canna worldwide.
Following another setback in its legal dispute with Sony Music, Quad9 has decided to block pirate site Canna worldwide. The court-ordered block was initially restricted to Germany but the music label complained that VPNs and a mobile network still allowed Germans to access the pirate site. Quad9, meanwhile, has appealed the underlying court judgment.
Ultimately, Quad9 hopes that the lower court’s blocking order will be overturned on appeal. It will continue to fight the case, even if that takes several years.
This sets a really bad precedent going forward… a bit of a low blow for Sony to go after a non-profit that doesn’t have an army of lawyers
