> 3. Circumventing a publisher’s paywall or copyright access control technology is not OK

Would any technologist who doesn't work for Admiral consider javascript a "copyright access control technology"? (I'm assuming their product is javascript.)




....yes?

But not in the "hide content you've already sent" sense. However, a script that verifies credentials and only then accesses content using those provided credentials sounds like "access control technology".

My reasoning is simple: if I block the script and still see the content, it's not access control; if I have to run the script to see the content, it is access control.
