Hosts: Ekstra Bladet video host blocked

[XelNika]

Ekstra Bladet (tabloid newspaper) hosts their videos at cfvod.kaltura.com and your list breaks them.
Example.

Hello! Thank you for opening your first issue in this repo. It’s people like you who make these host files better!

Hi @XelNika unless you can convince me otherwise, this one will stay blocked.

For my ref: added by me in commit a9fb35dcc296

[XelNika]

I'm not familiar with kaltura.com and I don't care about Ekstra Bladet, I just noticed it affected a (somewhat) legitimate site. If need be, I'll whitelist it on my end. Why did you block it though? I don't see any explanation.

[StevenBlack]

@XelNika see what a lot of people don't understand is too many "legitimate" sites whore themselves out to cagey third parties.

The hosts files here aren't about blocking legitimate sites. They are about blocking unscrupulous partners.

I blocked this site 4-months ago because I came upon some dodgy content from this site, and because I can.

Closing.

Lol, anyone else notice Steven has been getting a bit more cheeky over the last couple months?

Just an FYI, not a plea for removal.

I have another legitimate site blocked by "cfvod.kaltura.com" being on the list.

The Lerner.org site for Public Broadcasting Service in the US (PBS) VOD content. In this case, French in Action (and their other language series): http://www.learner.org/resources/series83.html

I have to whitelist the cfvod.kaltura.com DNS lookup to get the videos to play.

Note that "stats.kaltura.com" and "analytics.kaltura.com" are still blocked but the site works.
