We should start whitelisting the domains that is allowed from router. Otherwise, these smart shitty ads companies will never take responsibility.

I just had a crazy idea: Are there any ways we (consumers) could leverage the (bad) DMCA "anti-circumvention" laws?

Ex:

1. The noise happening in my house is copyrighted.

2. I protected my copyright by blocking the TV from transmitting it to known manufacturer domains.

3. By switching to obfuscated domains or alternate transmission paths, the manufacturer started circumventing my copyright controls.

... I suppose the boring answer will be that the literally-unreadable stack of Terms Of Service has some "everything we ever do is permitted by you" clause.
