		mckoss on April 22, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: AdBlock Plus defeats German publishers in court Thanks. So it seems all a publisher has to do is avoid using ad-like terminology in their ad URLs. They can just stick them in /images/id along with regular content images and AdBlocm will have no way to tell them difference.

Yes it will -- just include the ads in /images/id on a blacklist. To prevent the ad from being blocked, you'd need to randomize its url.
