So suppose i access youtube through Firefox and I have adblocker and a video download extension installed .....am I in violation of ToS? Also, I have AppleTV and I have never seen any ad on youtube video, so are they themselves helping me to steal content from creators?

@cloudnine : But then it is the same app (YT), and same functionality being accessed. SO why is Google adamant on showing ads for WP users?
AppleTV doesn't compete with Android so they don't care.

Well, there is GoogleTV, but it's doing way worse than Windows Phone, so they don't care.

I doubt Apple would do anything without Google's permission regarding this. Google probably has the same deal with Apple with the built-in YouTube app where there weren't any ads either.
