DNS Resolver Quad9 Rejects French Piracy Blocks, Weighs Exit as beIN Seeks Up to €580K a Day

DNS resolver Quad9 is considering pulling out of France after broadcaster beIN Sports asked a Paris court to impose non-compliance penalties that could go up to €580,000 per day. The Swiss non-profit is not blocking the pirate tennis streams covered by a May site-blocking order, arguing that it can't reliably limit the blocks to French users. A decision is expected later this month.
