Admiral asked Easylist to remove functionalclam[.]com from their filters and here’s why:
-
functionalclam[.]com is not an adserver.
-
That domain is part of the DMCA copyright access control platform Admiral provides publishers so they can engage visitors in a transparent way on the value exchange for their copyrighted content, instead of resorting to surprise ad reinsertion the way some of our competitors advocate but visitors and advertisers dislike.
-
Circumventing a publisher’s paywall or copyright access control technology is not OK and we don’t believe it’s core to the mission of AdBlock Plus and EasyList.
-
We’ve shared this with EasyList and ABP through multiple direct communications over the past year.

We asked them 24 days
