    So now copyright infringement is both consuming media and refusing to consume media, based on the arbitrary intent of the copyright holder?

    Also if, according to this lawsuit, it’s illegal to be “meddling with the appearance of the publisher’s website in users’ browsers”, then wouldn’t that make it illegal for Netflix to drop to a lower resolution when bandwidth gets low? After all, if the publisher gives them a 4K source file and Netflix drops it to 720p, isn’t that meddling with the appearance in user’s browsers?

      Yes, but we live in a tiered justice system. If YOU want to block ads it’s “wrong”. If a corporation wants to censor or block something it’s “freedom”.

    LoL that seems same legal topic as moding games, which we know game publishers can not do anything against, if the mod is delivered without the binary and it does not circumvent DRM stuff

    I want to see them win, just to see springer sites getting blocked everywhere, cause if you cannot download it there is no chance of infringement.
