Cloudflare should discontinue service to music streaming companies or music industry sites. Let the music industry go to war with the internet at large and see how this plays out for them.

CDN services certainly but not DNS, we're all profitting from Cloudflare & Co having fully automated DNS because that is the sole fact currently holding back court ordered DNS blocks on a large scale.

The DNS Providers do not discriminate and that fact guarantees them (largely) not being forced to discriminate. Not interfering with anyone's DNS is the most Cloudflare can do for the piracy community because it ensures Publishers can't just send an angry email to get a DNS block

Like the Bahnhof ISP in Sweden. They were ordered by a court order from Elsevier (the academic journal extortion firm) to block sci-hub, so they blocked sci-hub and Elsevier journals.
