Since forever.
I don't know, I've read that it was always legal and I've read since around.
It should be legal. PI is hard enough to call correctly. Now imagine if they have to call a pretty much completely subjective penalty of "blocking the receiver's view?"
You can block the view all you want. But if there is contact while doing it, you better be making a play on the ball.
