By the same token, when I go to say (Forbes.com), the advertisers are stealing bandwidth from me. Unless I use an adblocker, the ads use bandwidth that I pay for.
i.e. the advertisers entire business model is lowering their costs by pushing those costs onto me.
Then after I install an adblocker, they complain that I'm the one who's stealing. No, I'm trying to read an article. If Forbes refuses to let me read articles with an adblocker in place, I'll just go somewhere else.
And that's ignoring all of the arguments around artificial monopolies, and the perverting of the copyright system through the "immortal mouse".
