So, they've already lost in the German courts vs. ABP; why do they get to keep going after other companies with the same bogus arguments?
Quite obviously, they are trying the American model of suing everybody in sight again and again until they give up.
Axel Springer is not the only publisher that’s taking a confrontational approach to dealing with ad blockers, The FT recently reported. U.K. newspaper City AM banned ad blockers from its website; U.K. broadcasters ITV and Channel 4 have now done the same; and the Washington Post redirects readers to a subscription page, or asks them to sign up to newsletters, or disable their ad-blocking software.

Soon in the news: Comcast sues to make going to the bathroom during commercial breaks illegal.
Sssht, you might give them ideas. I am cynical enough to believe that they will add a IR heartrate sensor (a la XBox One Kinect) to 'pause entertainment' when nobody is in the room. Formulated like that, it even sounds like a feature ;).
They can't detect the volume on external speakers. But there's no reason why they couldn't with a microphone.

I started using iOS ad blockers on day one. Judging by the amount I have to recharge - I'm on pre paid - I use about 50% of the data I used to and spend proportionally less. I also stopped using the Twitter and Facebook apps in favour of the mobile web sites. I only see Twitter ads now. There really needs to be another model.

I think part of the issue too is that on some of these sites even if you subscribe, you're not getting an ad-free experience.

Wait, really? Users can't read their email if an adblocker is installed? I can't imagine what mother would do if she ran into a error message like that while trying to check her email (but she doesn't use yahoo).
