German publishing house Axel Springer has lost its copyright infringement lawsuit against Eyeo GmbH, the company behind Adblock Plus.

Why this was even a question is beyond me.

Sometimes I cry because of ads distracting me too much

The money has been flowing too easily for far too long, I agree.

Torrentfreak is pumping out higher quality articles than most outlets day by day.

This is a question because capitalism gets supported by the institutions and legal machinery. Beyond a point though, things have to be stopped.

Hopefully just a taste of the many bitter pills to come for big corp’s, as people start to reject the BS that’s been getting rammed down our throats for far too long.

The right to privacy and security, and with this ad/trackerblocker, is a basic right and prevails over the particular economic interests of a few.

Because they’re trying to find any way whatsoever to get rid of AdBlock Plus. They’re not looking for justice, they want an unjust decision in their favor.
