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?
