Irrelevant. If you steal something, and the owner forgives you, does
it mean you didn't do anything wrong?

In another message, you define 'piracy' as 'taking content without
paying'. In your own ethical system, browsing with images turned off
on a site with banner ads is piracy, whether the service provider cares
about it or not. Do you agree?

> Difference of intent and

What differnce of intent? In both cases I don't want to see unwanted
pictures. I have no reason to explicitly wish that the service provider
gets no money and starves to death. 

> acceptance of lower service quality 

Hos is this one relevant at all?

Puzzled,
Anatoly.
