in fact I would say >90% of -internet users- who are motivated to do so would figure a way to bypass the block. And they don't need to know DNS for that. They find some board that gives them the steps necessary without needing to understand how it all works. Or they know a guy. Why are they motivated? Probably for games, videos, netflix, social media, etc. The walled gardens would motivate them.

Thing is here, only a minority are going to be "into" the pirate site scene, so way less are motivated in the first place. And a lot of them probably have a perfectly fine way to get their stuff from non-blocked pirate sites.

When I look at my grandma use the internet, she knows very little about it, but if she's motivated to do something with tech she always seems to figure out a way.
