- 39c3 talk about this tomorrow (in German, but usually available with English translation) https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2025/fahrplan/event/...
- So it is a collection of the best pirate sites?
- For those wondering: it's DNS blocks, so only affecting those using ISP DNS.
- And lithuanian list is here: https://www.nksc.lt/vasaris.html (in lithuanian). Mostly phishing sites, but includes fun piracy portals too.
Content piracy specific, mostly movies, blocked by public broadcaster orders:

- What a handy list the Germans have prepared
- But it is not legally required, and at least my smaller German ISP doesn’t seem to care.

- This reminds me of a screenshot I saw where someone told chatgpt they stumbled upon a piracy website and wanted a list of other websites to avoid hahaha

- So there are only 295 domains censored? Seems like a lot of them of streaming sights breaking copyright/license agreements. Has to be a small fraction of those such sites alone.

- I know a few more, for example demonoid. This list is just a sunset. Inb4 "actually it's not Germany censoring. It's the ISPs"
- Ah yes, we need to forcefully protect our citiziens from all the evils of the internet: rapists, pedophiles, terrorists ... oh wait, this is just about copyright stuff.
Seriously, thanks for updating that list and the nice instructions to circumvent. (3 clicks with firefox, without the need to install anything or type in anything by hand)

- I see canna.to on the list. Amazing, that site already existed when I downloaded MP3s in my early internet days, in 2000. And still looks pretty much the same.
- I wonder what the overlap is of people who find out about one of these URLs, but also does not know how to use a VPN? It seems to me like it would be near zero.
I also wonder if there is some kind of legal requirement for ISPs to engage in that kind of immoral, inhumane, and authoritarian censorship?
I get the “stealing is bad” argument, but far worse and an evil slippery slopes is depriving humans of their human right to free will.

- I have never visited these kino domains, but I assume that’s just some piracy entity. Yet it’s quite impressive how many various domain names they bought! What for? Is it to avoid those blocks? Or is there any more reasons?
- Honestly makes it look like legislation with "sponsorship" from the film industry. I had expected much shadier stuff or those overrun with malware to protect users, not like 90% illicit streaming.

- Being German, is not surprising so many are sites with football games (i.e. the game Americans call "soccer").

- I found nice soccer streams thanks to that list I never would have been able to find otherwise.
- "Censoring" in this way is stupid and ineffective. Germans should demand better.

- Anna's Archive and Sci-Hub. So despite their facade the German government is just as draconian as the US.
- Interesting they went through the trouble of blocking specific subdomains rather than just blanketing the entire domains for all the "www*." at the end of the list
And yet, the entire beginning of the list, no subdomains listed - so are subdomains for them allowed (unless specifically blocked here)?

- Germans are mostly chill but if you start torrenting copyrighed content or even watching illegal streaming they will eat your face and drink your warm blood.
