Last December the Court of Milan ordered Cloudflare to block sites added to Italy's Piracy Shield system. Cloudflare sees itself as a neutral intermediary but increasingly frustrated rightsholders say it should play a more active role by assisting their fight against piracy. A decision issued by the same court now requires Google to poison its Public DNS to prevent access to pirate sites. It was handed down on March 11 without Google being heard in the matter.

I know at least one person who said they use Googles DNS because it stopped them getting pissy letters from their ISP.

Some people only care about privacy to the point were they don't see the immediate consequences for their actions.

Lol what? I'd be curious to know the amount of dns queries required for an ISP to complain about this. I'd think it would have to be massive. Also, unless it's in their TOS, they wouldn't really have to comply. The only downside is if they're the only ISP for the user, which sucks and happens.

think the pissy letters were about what the user was accessing not how frequently.

And a dnssec policy will solve that for you
