You know MP3 is kinda like a FFT right?

It certainly works for some stations, but not for many other (from personal experience in France), and it would be trivial for radios to change their RDS / metadata system to circumvent ad blocking.

Note this is not foolproof as e.g. pop songs are already heavily compressed.

I think so. Are you thinking about a station in particular? Not promising anything, because each station requires time to tune and money for computational resources.

IANAL as well, but this notion of "fair use" seems slippy. I had a look in the French article that lists some exceptions that allow sharing copyrighted material, and did not find any obvious match with the potential shared databas

Do you have an idea how could such a database of copyrighted material be shared? (Asking for a friend...)

Check this: https://github.com/erikkaashoek/Comskip It seems the tuning of the algorithm is complex though. There's a dedicated forum for it: http://www.kaashoek.com/comskip/viewforum.php?f=2&

Great work! I have been working for a while on a similar adblock, but that does not need jingles to detect ads. I'm on my way to open source it. A radio player with adblocking included is available at https://www.adblockradi

How often would you be ready to change mouse brand? Would you change mouse each time you change browser tabs, keeping a mouse for Facebook and a mouse for other websites? Also, keep in mind mouse tracking is just another technique deployed

I guess mouse movements are a very good way to identify people across websites. It's also an efficient way to distinguish people from machines. Think about the click-only reCaptcha for example.

You just gave a counter example ;)

My experience is not as painful as yours, but I do not know the Delaware process. I incorporated a "SAS" in France with the help of an online accounting service. It cost 500€ in fees, required a few hours of paperwork and the comp

Think about how much ads steal from you, by tricking your brain into buying stuff you don't need.

It may not be completely legal for Firefox to do that. I don't know though.

Maybe this requirement is necessary so that people do not request info about other people.

What is the voltage of the track? If filled with salt water, 1 volt at the surface, but beneath?

At high velocities (> 40 km/h?) the main drag comes from aerodynamics (turbulence, air viscosity…), not rolling resistance.
