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.
That is correct, I made a not very precise comment. However, Cloudflare is the defacto CDN of the internet and therefore they should be considered an ISP with monopoly status. Therefore some neutrality regulation should apply (although I realize that nobody will make regulation to keep illegal content online, which is understandable). And this decision should not be made by assumed copyright holders via DMCA, but by some type of jurisdiction.
