Publisher Sues AdBlock Plus for Copyright Infringement
- rahuldottech 8y agoLmao this isn't going to go through. Browser plugins cannot modify anything on the servers on which websites are hosted.
- rolph 8y agoI think what the plaintiff is trying to say is that the code sent to your browser is thier property, and "editing" the code is a use of protected property, to create a derivative product. I personally dont see this as actual, my impression is when using ad blockers the code pointing to ads is either ignored, or not allowed to load into the browser. If we have a legal requirement to accept every line of code sent then, that makes blackhat and malware deployment, quite trivial. I actually would be concerned that there would be a big uptick in evil payloads on "weaponized" ads if ad blockers were gone.
