There is other alternative, such as: get rid of their DNS service entirely, or make a petition for changing these laws.



What good would getting rid of their DNS service do?


Making a petition to change the laws sounds like a great way of achieving nothing. It will certainly not mean you get to ignore the court orders.

Shutting down public DNS in France would be an option (a garbage option that nobody would actually choose in this case and that'd solve nothing, but an option nonetheless). That's not what dmitrygr was asking for though. They want big tech companies to ignore legitimate court orders to protect some scummy football pirate sites.

It would be the ethically correct option.
