The TV networks tried to make the exact same argument when they sued TiVO, but got shut down by the courts.

Bottom line: nobody can be forced into seeing ads.

I can't find anything about the Tivo case being settled. On the wikipedia page for commercial skipping, the only court case is one with ReplayTV, which didn't finish due to the company going bankrupt.

I can't seem to locate this lawsuit. Do you have information on it? I'm interested in seeing exactly what the decision was.

And no ad blocking service can be forced to block all the ads you want them to.
