The Paris Judicial Court has ordered top VPN providers to block yet more pirate sports streaming domains. Two rulings dated July 18th side with broadcasters beIN Sports and Canal+, rejecting the VPN providers' arguments that these blocking measures are ineffective, costly, and technically difficult to implement. A request from CyberGhost and ExpressVPN, to pause the case and refer questions to the EU's highest court, was also rejected.

Why are they only being ordered to block DNS requests and not an entire ASN or IP ranges?
