What definition for piracy are your relying on?
The illegitimate procurement of media.

Does DMCA even have a definition for this?

I've not argued any of those points. Just that not watching ads on YouTube is piracy.
In the UK, piracy isn't a legally defined term, and the way that I would define piracy as the illegitimate procurement of media.
but TOS is often illegal anyway.
Piracy isn't only a legal thing. It's just dealt with through the legal system.
I'm not modifying any of the content
Sorry, I was wrong. You are however circumventing YouTube's playing ads.
I'm a pedantic asshole.
You don't have permission to modify any of the content YouTube sends you.

circumvent, disable, fraudulently engage, or otherwise interfere with the Service (or attempt to do any of these things), including security-related features or features that: (a) prevent or restrict the copying or other use of Content; or (b) limit the use of the Service or Content;
Not saying you shouldn't block ads, just questioning the OCs comment. If you don't pay for the service monetarily or through data then imo it's piracy.

No where does that say dismantling Israel.
Thanks Peter!
