If using AD block is stealing content then so is going to the bathroom during a TV commercial break (CMV)

You transmitted the ad & a program on my computer made it so I didn't have to watch. You have no more right to tell me what programs should or should not be on my PC and what they should or should not do, in same way you have no right to tell me not to click onto a different window or even just close my eyes for the duration instead.

Content creators  often say that they don't want people to watch the videos without the ad because they need the revenue. Well firstly your financial issues aren't really my concern, refusing to help a struggling individual isn't stealing just because it's a bit Dickish. Secondly I don't have to experience your art the way you want me to (nor do I have much incentive to want to if you freely admit you would remove your self if you could).

The main problem is that online ads report if they are blocked, which makes the site/video owner not make money off your view. In the case of TV ads the producers of whatever show you're watching make money whether you watch the ad or not.
