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.

Everyone loves to hate on Cloudflare, but uh, duh, of course a US company will comply with a request under US law that they have to comply with?

If you don't want your shit DMCAed, don't use anything based in the US to provide it.

Go host somewhere that doesn't have smiliar laws and won't comply with foreign requests.
