It&#x27;s hardly sophistry. My point is the web as it stands has certain features. One of those features is that servers can&#x27;t control how clients render content. I think it&#x27;s pure hubris for content providers to move onto the web and then suddenly demand that things work the way they want (&quot;you <i>must</i> render our ads or you&#x27;re <i>stealing</i>&quot;) ignoring the way things actually work.<p>&gt; Besides, your argument is essentially “If you want me to pay, use DRM”. I would suggest that this is not a direction we need to try going down again.<p>That sort of is my point, but not quite. Because once DRM is in the picture then I (and everyone else) won&#x27;t partake of the content, which is what they want of me anyway. Until that time, I feel morally, ethically, and legally free to render their content as I see fit.
