That’s like what, 2% of online users globally? Let’s say pirates are marginally more tech savvy, so maybe 10% of pirates?

Targeting DNS and killing traffic to an entire site is easier than the constant drumbeat of sending out takedowns for specific links to everyone. Way over the top, and of course they wouldn’t try it against a big opponent. Would love to see them make a case that YouTube should be globally DNS blocked, after all look at all the infringing videos and music that’s on there daily.
