Cloudflare Blocks Pirate Site URLs "For Legal Reasons" (torrentfreak.com)

Cloudflare is actively disabling access to some pirate site URLs on its network, informing visitors that the requested pages are unavailable for legal reasons. While these types of 'HTTP 451' error messages are relatively rare, they are nothing more than Cloudflare complying with its legal obligations under the DMCA.

Not really news, then, is it?

It's important news for pirates, because if you've set cloudflare dns resolvers in your *arr stack then certain things might stop working (e.g. blocked indexers). I just switched my system to another DNS service because of this.

Just hope is not an excuse to do a full ban on piracy in future. Do you know some alternative DNS service?
