Oh hey, here's a crazy idea. Maybe, perhaps, the reason people are installing adblockers is not because we want to "steal" content but because your ads are obnoxious, ubiquitous and generally annoying? How many sites have I visited that reported working on a problem because one of their ad servers started redirecting people without their consent?
If people are blocking your content it's probably not a good idea to treat them like criminals. It's time to think up new solutions to your ad problem. Becoming more obnoxious is only going to create an arms race and history shows us that the businesses who try to block popular trends tend to lose.

Yup. And admongers have had years to play nice and they won't do it. If they force their ads on me,I'll just close the site and take my little red browser elsewhere. Nothing is important enough that I have to look at your visual vomit. And what we are doing is NOT illegal. Your power stops at my browser. I decide what appears on my screen, not some mega corporation.
This all started with pop-up blocking software, anyway. And that shit's standard for modern browsers.
When the new version of pop-up ads is a loud video player showing multiple commercials that are sometimes only able to be paused for 30 seconds at a time, it's no wonder people would want to find a way to block it. Advertisers are doing themselves no favors by pissing off their potential customers.

Yep. You can't declare war on the masses, you will always loose.
