That's an excellent point, and I agree - not just here, but in practice as well - I go out of my way to respect the GPL and similar licenses for my own work and others'.
My respect of copyleft does not come from a want to adhere to legal terms, but instead an appreciation for what those terms hope to achieve more broadly, and the positive impact they have on society. As I described in another comment, I do not owe FAANG respect or legal cooperation it doesn't reciprocate.
Of course, if you feel like it's your duty to run the web without adblockers, I understand that, and more power to you.
- endisneigh 5y agoI’m curious, which laws have FAANG broken that they haven’t already been fined for?
- StockHuman 5y agoThat's a strange question, I have no private data about current of future lawbreaking. We know they're keen to lobby and litigate their way out of laws, and pay paltry fines when they fail to do so, but I cannot predict the next instance beyond enumerating any currently ongoing cases.
