        Also, I don’t know of any parodies of tv broadcasts with malicious audio ads.

        That’s because no one watches broadcast tv anymore.

        This is literally the same thing. Some small technical details regarding the delivery method are wholly immaterial, and any arguments asserting that it is are fully disingenuous.

        I remember them passing such laws and yet commercials on broadcast TV remain loud as fuck

          The workaround was that since commercials couldn’t be louder than the loudest part of the show airing, they made the show theme songs super fucking loud.
