So how exactly will they prevent themselves getting blocked?

>>61850381
Even when you go on the archive or almost news site, they'll block you until you disable adblock or flood the page with them requesting you to disable adblock.

It's gotten out of control, we'll need a block for blocking adblocks but they can just counter with a block for the block which blocks adblocks.

It's a never ending cycle, best thing to do is block Javascript but that'll most likely make the site unusable.

Seriously, disable JS now and watch how 4chan craps itself.

How is adding their domain to a list violate the DMCA? Sounds like a fraudulent request.

>>61850381
>DMCA
>Adblock
something doesn't make sense

>>61850381
Why would anyone make their company in the US?

>>61851553
They won't. Github has to act on takedowns against users' repos or face the responsibility THEMSELVES. DMCA makes content hosting a total nightmare.

>>61851605
It is.

>>61851631
It doesn't.

>>61851669

>>61851669
US residents are mostly unaware of the existence of other countries.

So it's going to get disputed/countered/whatever it is needs to be done, and will get put back up, right?

Or are they going to weasel their way around until it becomes possible and common to blatantly abuse the dmca for stuff like this

>>61851777
>existence of other countries
>>>/x/

>>61851854
This particular instance won't be disputed over a technicality: EasyList isn't meant to have anti-adware domains. EL is an ad domain list only.

Should Admiral try the same trick again on other lists, yeah, that'll get disputed. Maybe they'll even find counsel stupid enough to actually pursue this along copyright lines.

Wtf does DMCA have to do with the easylist?

Damn burgers, letting corporations dictate their way of life

>>61852059
>letting corporations dictate their way of life

They can't really dictate shit, which is why it's better this way.

So what do I add to my filters to replace what easylist removed?

If it gets bad enough I'll just run a minimalist browser like w3m and legitimately not allow anything but plain html text. I refuse to look at spam and ads at this point.

>>61852339
Manually add it back, ublock allows whatever the hell you want to be added, even manually, and whatever 3rd party.

Genuinely confused as to why they would invoke DMCA.

You can't force people to watch your content. You can invoke it when people illegally distribute your content. It's a fundamental inverse of what copyright is actually about.

For reference, this and similar domains are in Peter Lowe's Ad and tracking server list, or a dedicated list: https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/admiral-domains.txt

>>61853341
Because they know Github is a shitty, lazy, feminist company that will remove content without even looking st what's being taken down. Same with Kiketube.

>>61853567
>remove content without even looking st what's being taken down. Same with Kiketube.
Because they'll get assraped by the government/complaining party if they don't.

>>61853341
Read the article, as, for anyone not getting this, take this example:

My site as an Anti-Adblock (hosted on x site) plugin, that, unless you have your adblocker disabled, it won't load the content of the site.
If you block the anti-adblock script, you're "circunventing" the drm Im using to "protect" my content, thus you're effectively pirating my copyright protected content.
X site doesn't hosts any ads, but merely just the script that checks that you're not using an adblock, so, it cannot be added to anti-ads blocking lists.

Congratulations, ad-companies found a loop-hole in the system, now, we need a usa-free easylist repo with all these sites added.

I've had the same experience so far. Has anyone here ever run into a situation where they absolutely needed to unblock ads in order to find a specific file or piece of information?

>>61855120
Too much work if you want to search for random sites at times. What would be a good whitelist filter to begin with?

so blocking pop ups is fine, but blocking more is illegal/evil? dumb double standard

>>61855187
"Allow content from xyz.com while visiting *.xyz.com/*"

Sites don't generally host their own ads, and in those cases where they do you can be a little more creative. Basically whitelist only content from the domain in the URL.

>>61850381
Blocking a certain websites ip is a right. There's no crime in having the websites name in your ad blocking software. I would just leave the domain name in the list, they can sue me.

>>61855175

This is a prime example, I could, in this instance, point to countless deaths (more than national socialism) communism has caused and then you'll simply deny it by saying:

However, when I say that your examples aren't real capitalism, my argument is automatically invalid.
If that is true, so is your argument, by your own logic.
You are nothing but a denialist hypocrite, who will not listen to the opposing team.

Imagine actually believing this!

Can't wait for the fucking ad bubble to finally burst.

This shit is out of control.

>Capitalism leads directly into cronyism, it's still not capitalism.
No:
State + Capitalism = Cronyism
No State + Capitalism = Capitalism
Just like:
State + Communism = State Capitalism + Socialist Society + Dictatorship (Not 'Real' Communism)
No State + Communism = Communism
>Wageslavery in countries like china with poor working conditions and little pay is fine, capitalism is working. You even get a choice to work or die from starvation.
Blaming capitalism for cronyism again.

No, you just bankrupt victim states and cause deaths.

>We've just established multiple times in this thread that it is. You must've missed this post in particular.
>My argument is automatically valid.
No, if isn't 'real communism', then cronyism isn't 'real capitalism'.

the web is a pull medium
by blocking DNS of these hosts, I simple do not pull or request the ads.

Nigs, Sand people, and Pajeets dying from their lack of infrastructure, foresight, and inability to innovate is hardly the result of capitalism.

These people aren't dying in capitalist countries, they are dying in authoritarian, corpratist shitholes.

>>61855280
Maybe because those are technically in public spaces?

>>61851777
>other countries.
If course I know other countries exist, I drive over to the next country all the time because cigarettes and sales tax is cheaper. Plus my country just recently implemented a tax on pop and sugar sweetened beverages, I'll be damned if they think I'm gonna pay an extra 11¢ for a small Coke.

>>61857095

>>61855987
I really don't understand how someone can be so fucking retarded that they dismiss the millions killed under communism because of terrible government policies and then post this.

>>61857202
You need to try and understand the depths of Soviet subversion in America (and the west in general really). I'd recommend reading American Betrayal. It's very well sourced. You'll see how idiots like this can exist in the current year when you see just how deep things go.

>>61857162
It doesn't apply to just pop my dude.

>The new tax covers any drink sweetened with sugar or a substitute like aspartame, including carbonated sodas, plus sports and energy drinks. Iced tea, pre-made sweetened coffee, flavored water and lemonade fall into that category as well. Fruit drinks will also be taxed, though 100 percent fruit juice is exempt. The tax will also apply to dietary supplements and beverages like protein shakes, unless they are for medical use or meet certain nutritional guidelines

Because it's full of freetards who hate corporations and rich people because they think Loonix is so superior to Windows and Windows doesn't deserve its marketshare (and hence that Bill Gates doesn't deserve his wealth), which leads them to believe Capitalism is not meritocratic.

>>61857298

Smells like lobbying cancer.

>>61850381
I honestly don't care. I don't even use an adblocker on one of my machines because it makes pages take slightly longer to load due to how weak that machine is. Just use an addon like uMatrix and only allow scripts/pictures/frames/whatever that you actually need at the time. The only reason I even have uBlock on my main machine is to filter out elements that sites like 4chan add on certain days of the year if I feel they're annoying.

>>61850381
I'm tired of adblocking software. Is there such a thing as a tool that auto-updates the hosts file with all the relevant ad urls?

>someone sends in a bogus DMCA request
>you accept it because it's easy

So you people fold as soon as you have to pay for a lawyer, huh? I guess I can't expect anything from these floss faggots.

I hate to say this but this isn't a bogus or baseless claim, and hiring lawyers to fight this would certainly mean a defeat in court.

To clarify: this isn't a copyright claim. DMCA doesn't deal only with direct copyright violations, it also deals with code that is used to circumvent copyright access controls.

Remember the DVD CSS and Blu-Ray AACS circumvention controversy? How they used DMCA claims to takedown websites hosting the keys to those as well?

Admiral uses that domain to host its paywall code.

>>61850381

Using DMCA to go after adblocking, interesting new tactic given they know that DMCA claims are always sided with the owner automatically in court.

>>61857976
Except that this isn't an access control in the manner of encryption keys. The entire content of the site is first delivered in a totally accessible form to the visitor. Then a second element is loaded atop the already transmitted content. The copy right in question here is one of distribution. Once the material is distributed, the manner in which it's enjoyed by the end user is outside the realm of copyright. It would only become relevant again if redistribution happened.

So DMCA would apply if:
1) the website data was only transmitted if, by obligation of the copyright owner, the visitor agreed to disable ad-blocking, or
2) a person was re-hosting the website's data without both the permission of the copyright holder or the inclusion of Admiral's code.

Neither of those is happening here. You can't give me a publication of yours and then tell me how I'm allowed to read it after I get it. You can only set your terms in advance. This is a misapplication of DMCA.

>>61857976
Wait, so you're saying it's illegal to circumvent the anti-adblock nagging javascript sites employ?

God damn I hate Americans

>>61857465
This. If you're actually dependent on block lists then you don't belong on /g/.

>>61858498
This problem (like most) are bigger than /g/.
It's not about us being able to circumvent it, it's about what something like this means to social and political space.

>>61858565
I really don't give a shit if this pisses off the average person who doesn't actually know how to use their computer. Why should I waste my time white knighting for them when this issue doesn't affect me or anyone else who actually has an idea of what they are doing?

>>61858419
No, its not.
But it dosn't stop people from claiming as such and doing "slap" lawsuits.

Well, if they hide their URLs, the URL is DMCA-able I guess. Then I can't see the ad either way. Or ublock cloud block parts of the sites that serve ads.

Or just tell the DMCA trolls to stfu no one cares.

Because the Soviet Union added territories which added to the population, you fucking retard. The population of RUSSIA alone decreased due to Bolshevik Jews. Fucking off yourself faggot.

>what is blocking domains through your router and hosts file

>>61856907
And that will be illegal

>>61865428
Obviously you're joking, but the train of thought that a line of text on a file on your own personal network/machine could be illegal makes me cry in anguish and also laugh at the absolute absurdity of the idea.

>>61865428
And how exactly will they enforce it?

>>61865590
maybe have the hosts file be something your DNS requests check against on some centralized approved server. They could just remove the concept of a local file and have all users check against a meta-copy on the microsoft update servers, for example. Obviously, it wouldn't work as intended, but that hasn't stopped people from making dumb laws before

>>61865590
Website you request data from checks if the same IP also makes a request from the ad server. If it doesn't, get home adress from ISP, send cease and desist letters.

>>61854653
url shorteners detect and ask to turn off adblock. oddly enough if i have hostfiles and adblock then it rarely asks me to turn it off
