We have received the same takedown request from that Mr. Puerto. We run Hockeypuck at pgp.cyberbits.eu. Sadly there doesn't seem to be an easy way to somehow blacklist his key. We could return 404 when the query parameters contains his key ID but the key would still be available through the search form and possibly other paths. Another idea would be to switch to https://gitlab.com/hagrid-keyserver/hagrid but it still doesn't have a federation feature so it would be pretty useless in practice. pgp.cyberbits.eu is used by https://www.parabola.nu/ and probably other projects so we don't want to take it down. However, it's not worth getting sued for running a public service pro bono... If anyone has an idea to prevent the collapse of the few remaining SKS keyservers, please let us know otherwise we'll have to take down our server too pretty soon :(
