Wasn't there an EU ruling recently, that blocking users from accessing content just because they use an adblocker is illegal?
I'm not aware of any, and legislating that private enterprises have to provide their services fo free would violate the constitution of most EU countries.
I believe there is an EU ruling that ad-blocking can't be illegal, because users can't be forced to download and run code they don't want on their PC's.
