My guy, that’s why there is DRM. Your screen are loading pixels, because they let you.

When I ping YouTube's server it provides me with a stream that contains an ad and a video. What I do with that stream is my problem, and if I want to chop it up it's something I can freely decide.

Your server can send any data it wants, but it can't decide what I do with it, are you nuts?
