Ad networks are waiting for this in order to move a lot of ad code to a place where they can make ad-blocking illegal.

They have a lot of pull among a huge number of sites that depend on ad revenue.

Start buying this argument.

The web browsers already support this API. Where are the ad networks serving DRM ads claiming that blocking ads is illegal? On what basis does blocking ads constitute copyright infringement in order to justify prosecution under DMCA?
