This is ridiculous. There are so many ways to display a #webpage. So, would using custom #CSS also violate the #law? Or using a browser like Lynx that just shows the text? Or viewing raw HTML? If anything, it's the raw #code that should be copyrighted. #ad #adblock #legal #internet #netzpolitik #browser #copyright
