Is Quad9 being targeted because they are headquartered in Germany? Or is sony also suing every other DNS provider that has records for sites that may contain illegal copies of copyrighted material?

I don't know all the details, but I would find it pretty strange that this is the only DNS provider that resolves the domain.

Maybe they file a lawsuit against a weak player so that they can reuse the result against other bigger players.

They have some servers in Germany.

Quad9 is "operated by the Swiss-based Quad9 Foundation".
