Blocking popups from appearing on my browser on my computer is not a crime, nor is it a
violation of any Terms of Service, with my ISP or with Geocities.
However, stopping Geocities from generating popups you agreed to allow them to generate
on your free web space is a violation of the Terms of Service you agreed to when you
signed up with them. At the least they could terminate your account for doing it, at
worst they could sue you for the lost revenues.

13. ADVERTISEMENTS AND PROMOTIONS
Yahoo runs advertisements and promotions on Yahoo GeoCities Sites. By creating your Yahoo
GeoCities Site, you agree that Yahoo has the right to run such advertisements and
promotions. The manner, mode and extent of advertising by Yahoo on your Yahoo GeoCities
Site is subject to change.
22. GENERAL INFORMATION
....The TOS and the relationship between you and Yahoo shall be governed by the laws of
the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and Yahoo
agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within
the county of Santa Clara, California. The failure of Yahoo to exercise or enforce any
right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision...
While it's /extremely/ unlikely that Geocities/Yahoo would sue you, it is well within
their rights to do so under the ToS you agreed to.
