I can see your point, but wouldn't be any ad-driven website/game be considered theft of service?

A ton of flash ads might have a bigger impact on your system performance (and on your wallet, if your ISP charges by traffic)

At least ads are visible. A zero-pixel Java applet seems like it's over the line IMO.
