Then why do you access their computers when they have explicitly said they don't want you to? Even further, you circumvent a system they have put in place to stop you from accessing their property.
- ultramancool 10y agoBecause they gave it to me and I just decided how to render it locally on my own computer? There was no unauthorized access as you're suggesting. Blame their server I guess. I'm only working with what they give me.
- TheLogothete 10y agoYou are straight out denying the reality. They didn't give it to you. They put a wall and said "You cannot pass this wall with adblock turned on". You decided to circumvent it. Because...?
- ultramancool 10y agoYou need to look at where the code executes in reality. Their "wall" as you describe it is actually just client-side code which runs on _my_ computer, not theirs, so I get to decide how it executes. It would be completely different if the "wall" was on the server side of course (for example, a paywall). If it's on my computer, it's under my control. Just because it came from their server does not mean it has any rights on my computer at all. They're not entitled to my computer.
- TheLogothete 10y agoYou are fetching their property and do not respect their rules. No matter how much you squirm and squeeze, this is objectively not OK to do.
- ultramancool 10y agoI'm obeying their rules for fetching their property. I'm just not obeying their proposal for client side execution where they have no authority.
