"blanket ad blocking in general is still theft" -- kind of like changing the channel on your TV when a commercial comes on, isn't it?

>>Netscape users can simply set their browser to IE mode to continue to enjoy the site that sent you here. FireFox users can use Internet Explorer, Opera or Netscape (in IE mode) to access it. FireFox users also have the option of using the IE Tab plug-in which uses the IE rendering engine to display pages, but also disables the Ad Block Plus plug-in.
lol... or Firefox users can, like Netscape users, make their browser appear to be IE to websites.
Not to mention blocking ad URLs on your home router or even the cheaper but still effective /etc/hosts or C:\WINDOWS\somethingsomething\something\hosts file
Software that blocks all advertisement is an infringement of the rights of web site owners and developers.
Lol, what a pompous fool. The guy who wrote that is American, and the kind that works for media corporations and cares about imaginary property.
He still hasn't realized anything that gets sent to my machine becomes mine, and it's my right to use these octet streams as I please. They came through MY network because they had MY IP on them; they went through MY firewall, are now in MY memory, and will be displayed in MY monitor. (They're probably in MY vagina as well.) Therefore I shall rule how they show.
That's why Stylish and Greasemonkey are two of my favourite plugins, and why I hate PDFs and Adobefag "designers".

i was thinking about the same, but he is not bitching about the way you treat the octets you recieve, but about the octets you don't ;P
it's not really his property anyway, most ads are hosted in ad servers.
But i think this website is a joke anyway, i've never been redirected to it.

Ah, in the bottom; a quick refresh solved that.
Hmm... nice site... need more large-sized Comic Sans MS and colored text though. A good example to follow when designing such sites is http://www.timecube.com/

I'll risk some faggot losing a little money if it means I'm protected from the 0-day flash exploits from those Russian hackers, they always release them on adbrite and shit like that.
>>1 If this user is using Adblock to screen out annoying advertisements, he is creating an unauthorized derivative work analogous to skipping television commercials.
WELL HOW ABOUT YOU STOP HAVING ANNOYING ADVERTISEMENTS IN YOUR FUCKING WEBSITES AND ILL STOP USING ADBLOCK
>>18
Not only that, what about the pages where if the adserver is down you cannot view the page?
and what about the fucking "live advertisments" (crappy flash objects with TV advertisments and sound. argh.)
I mean, i seriously hate those, there usually is a turn sound off option but you are still forced to download the flash file
Hey, don't knock those, I wouldn't know about my lovely spinning tupperware holder that fits in my fucking cupboard if it weren't for them. Think about that one.

Derivative works are ok. The laws only affect your ability to distribute them.

I thought derivative works are themselves infringement. This doesn't preclude derivative works from being subject to an exception or limitation of copyright, but in general it is infringement.

Let me add that I think it is still bogus. Morally I feel derivative works should be okay for personal use, **especially** when said derivative work is created by "in place" modifications of a copy you own.
derivative works are generally considered to be fair use as long as they're not distributed. at least in the US.
of course we have wacky shit like google claiming that mobile gmaps includes their map tiles and is an unauthorized derivative work when it doesn't include the tiles any more than firefox or internet explorer does.
>>26
What would be the reasoning behind laws against derivative works strictly for personal use? The artist doesn't suffer any loss, and any such laws would be mostly unenforcable anyway. Any nation with laws like that has to be completely retarded.
OKAY YOU FUQIN ANGERED AN EXPERT PROGRAMMER GODFUCKIGNDAMN!

Ha, weak
We need extension that would block ads, like adblock, but silently click on all ads in background (follow links, just without displaying them on your screen).
