I'm watching a panel about ad-blocking and one of the panelists is discussing potential legal remedies. Against ad blockers. #mlrc

Tortious interference? So users are in breach for adblocking? Good god no
-
Especially if traffic is coming in from social. Good luck getting those TOU to be enforceable
-
Panelist is being very careful to say these aren't *great* legal arguments, but he keeps saying "creative lawyering."
-
This is creative lawyering like monkey selfie is creative lawyering

oh my god we're going down a copyright infringement hypo re: adblockers and i want to die
#mlrc -
the copyright theory is that the READER is infringing copyright and the adblocker is inducing "seems like a challenging claim to me"

Shoutout to the Brave browser. Panelist says that this is the case he'd litigate if he were a publisher.
#MLRC -
"If I were a judge, I'd say, 'What value do you add, you're just an asshole.'"
#MLRC -
Cooper cuts in to clarify that Brave replaces ads with non-tracking ads, takes a cut off the top, and then gives ad $ to publishers

Cases against ad block developers in Germany ended in victory for dev - three times. (cases against users were also tossed)

odd since the EU Data Protection Directive might make adblocker detecting scripts illegal, which surely make adblockers legal

unfair competition has been less successful, about four defeats for this claim, one win, all on their way to appellate courts.

Are you sure you're at a legal conference and not a reddit meetup?

Have the RIAA/MPAA taken an interest in adblocking yet? If they're depending on spotify revenues, they will.
