    I can literally open up the development console and manually click an ad, and delete it. Am I now hacking and sabotaging a protected program?

    WTF is this for nonsense, what mental gymnastics…?

      Only if you delete it before the script runs through its entirety and before you watch the ad. Doubt they actually care what you do after the fact.

      Mental gymnastic Olympic, indeed. However, the reason the case is back under a lower court is because the upper court stated that the case was thrown out too quickly and without all facts being properly reviewed.

      So, it seems --hopefully – that it is more of a legal clerical/procedural issue rather than the fact that Corp. argument carries any actual water, or logic, for that matter.
