I am a lawyer, and "circumvention of access control" means defeating DRM measures, like when you rip a CD or DVD to make a copy on your computer. Someone would have to really torture their reading of the law to come up with "writing down a domain from which ads are served is prohibited by the DMCA."

It's the part that says "impairing a technological measure without the authority of the copyright owner" that I wonder if they're testing. I agree with you, it's still a stretch (how can the list itself be a violation? it is speech)
