Who cares?!

Have you ever turned the TV when a commercial comes on?

You blocked the ad from displaying on your set. Prepare to be sued. No?

Then how is blocking it on your monitor illegal?

All we have to do here to justify ad blocking's legality is establish a precedent for blocking anything that you do not want to see, that someone else has a right to show you. That should be easy enough for a thoughtful person.

I was thinking the same thing. I guess they'll go after remote controls next.

I use adblock plus and a custom hosts file from Mike's Adblocking host site (»everythingisnt.com/hosts.html). Even without the ad blocking software, the host file does wonders, redirecting common ad server addresses to 127.0.0.1.

I recommend you go ahead and destroy all equipment, then turn yourself in to the local authorities, Dave.

It'll go much easier on you that way . . . .
