> The BGH (as the Federal Supreme Court is known) called for a new hearing so that the Hamburg court can provide more detail regarding which part of the website (such as bytecode or object code) is altered by ad blockers, whether this code is protected by copyright, and under what conditions the interference might be justified.
Do adblockers actually alter the JS code of individual websites?
I'm pretty sure Adblock Plus does because they have an ad whitelist or something, but do all of them do? I didn't think about that until now but it would make sense for things such as YouTube's ads to require JS workarounds.
