But can they block me muting the ads?

  Dont give them any ideas. Next they will require you to say the advertised brand name 5 times in order to get back to the content.

    I think Sony has that patent, don't they?

      Yeah, this is the one I had in mind: http://fortune.com/2013/04/30/sony-patent-is-hilarious-terrifying/ http://fortune.com/2013/04/30/sony-patent-is-hilarious-terri...

  What if a random file from a directory of my favorite movie clips plays instead?

  I use an app to mute my android device's volume when "advertisement" appears in the "now playing" notification. For the past 4-6 weeks I've noticed Spotify will sometimes 'fail' to accurately update the "now playing" notification. I brushed it off as a bug, but this ToS makes me wonder if they are collecting device volume (which they can definitely do in android) and perhaps testing to see if I'm using the notifications to auto-mute?

    Pandora will pause the music if it detects you muted your phone (it tells you this, not a hypothesis) so I always mute it and up the volume one bar. This way I still cant hear it but it is not technically muted.
