what is illegal? Havinadblockcks, cracking down onadblocks or upping the price on the software after ""forcing"" people to move to it.

Anti Ad-Blocking Software would be (and arguably, already are) illegal as not only do ads count as a form of malware, but Anti-AdBlocks run scripts on YOUR machines without your consent, and thus are ALSO malware.
