The story is presented here:
https://www.quad9.net/news/press/quad9-s-opinion-of-the-recent-court-ruling-in-leipzig
Quad-9 is a DNS Resolving service, which wants the internet to be free and open and running in the public interest.
Sony is attacking them legally to try to get them to block certain domains, i.e. Big Tech calling the shots for their own benefit: Let's change the internet for our good, not the public good.
Potentially, if Sony succeeds in this case then it sets a precedent for future cases which will make the internet more locked-down going forward.
Donating towards Quad-9 can help them to keep on legally battling against Sony for *our* benefit.

Just like with Bleem..... The general public to this day believe Sony won that cause because Bleem went out of business...... When in fact Bleem won the case but Sony sucked them dry via legal costs........
AND if Sony sucks Quad-9 dry via legal fees....... Sony can buy them out or start a new company to replace them.........
Its a very worrying sign for anyone who wants a free thinking and open internet......

In this case, it should be fought with ferocity.

I made them my DNS provider and I'll admit I did not know about the company before your post. Not to mention the sad story... Just wanted to let you know your post was not for naught and somebody read all.
