A panel of three judges of the Court of Milan has dismissed Cloudflare’s appeal against a preliminary injunction requested by the record companies Sony, Universal and Warner for blocking users’ access to three notorious pirate BitTorrent sites through Cloudflare’s public DNS service, namely 1.1.1.1. The users’ access has been already blocked by the local connectivity companies (i.e. Telcos) following the relevant AGCOM orders. The Court issued a “dynamic” interim injunction, meaning that DNS blocks shall also include any alias domain to be created by the BitTorrent websites in the future.
Some technical details of the implementation of the injunction order are still pending before the Court of Milan.
