Quad9 and Sony Music: German Injunction Status
I was sued in Germany by Axel Springer due to an ad blocker I wrote. The lower court of Hamburg ruled against me. They openly admitted they did not know what they were doing because the case was too technical for them. They were just happy to please the big corporation.<p>Hamburg is a favourite for such cases because they just have no clue about technology. They are just old fashioned.<p>As a small indie developer, I could not afford to keep on fighting. I gave up. I was a psychological wreck. And since it is not binding, big entities can afford to sue you non-stop.<p>Hamburg was the second time I was in a court. I got sued by the same big corporation. I won the first one.<p>Despite not being binding Sony will use this as a precedent and they will start going against the bigger DNS players, till all of them have to comply with their demands.
