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

"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

How dare public not accept more abuse from us accepting crap ads & pushing malware onto them! Spend on lawyers, not better ads!!

Dear lord. What the hell are they infringing, URLs of the sites in the blacklist file?

@scifantasy the claim is that the layout of the website is being infringed by creating an unauthorized derivative work w/o the ad -
does this allow us to claim that IE6's shitty rendering was actually a copyright infringement because I might be OK with that

What if a derivative work is created that is their site minus the traffic to it
