Blocking ads is the same as stealing. You are very intelligent.

  The reason it's not stealing is because the cost to the serve content is tiny (spare change) and the sites don't stop you from viewing it with ad-blocker (unlocked doors).

    The reason its not stealing is because stealing means to remove someone of the ownership of something they own. You are able to make your own définition though. The clear mark of a very intelligent mind.

      I did not invent the definition of "IP theft" or the laws around it. But I suppose strictly speaking, theft is not the same word as stealing. I was not smart enough to get that. You're right, and I apologize. Not that ad-blocking is illegal, it's not, but it does bypass payment to creators for content they provide. Which functionally acts the same as theft.

        It is yes. Your ability to create new meaning for words is awesome.
