running an adblocker or script blocker in your browser is a crucial component of safe and secure internet use. until the sites and ad networks fully vet and guarantee the safety and legitimacy of the ads and scripts they serve, fuck them all.

No it’s not. If an ad break comes up on tv and to avoid them you go for a pee or get some snacks, no sane person would call that piracy. It’s pretty much the same with youtube, I could just leave the room while an ad plays. Adblock just automates the task of not watching the ad.

The ad is served which is what counts and you can not ignore it or not ignore it, doesn’t matter as long as it is served. adblock makes it so the ad is never served in the first place, circumventing the “payment” for the content, as in “piracy”.

The German government literally ruled otherwise. You are objectively, legally, and morally incorrect.

When did I say piracy was wrong?
In this case it’s apparently the only option.
