Comment on Should I tolerate ad-blockers on my website? I am “losing” over $1k a day

BTW. I am tolerating the ad-blockers for now. But you should not apply any "cracks" to my source code to allow people use my Premium features (full-screen interface) for free. That is basically the same as piracy, and you are facilitating it.

Does this mean Google/YouTube/any other platform that has advertisement or is functionally affected by ublock origin could sue them over piracy grounds? Perhaps another legal framework? Why hasn't this happened yet? Is the reason the same/similar to how YouTube tolerates youtube-dl?
