      How will you do that if all adblocker devs will get sued and because of that no safe-to-use adblockers are available?

      Are you going to download some unknown shady binary from tor tor or other shady sources to do that?

      For anyone from german courts reading this, if you pass that stupid ruling, you might be responsible for all hacked devices that got hacked over ads and/or over shady adblockers. People will not go after the ad networks, people will go after you personally. Because the whole DMCA usage is an overreach to begin with.

        They have not been declared illegal (yet). The lower court just has to consider additional aspects according to the BGH and may possibly come to a different decision. In any case this only applies to adblock plus for now.
