Meh. I think the track may have ended on the original thread. I'm not trying to debate you; I have a technical reason for using it. When you raise the issue of "rights" when it comes to the internet, you're venturing into very shaky territory. If they want to limit the "rights" of someone to view their site, they need to put up a pay wall, but that gets into sticky territory, too.
Really, I think the argument of "robbing them of revenue" is a bit specious, but we can't see numbers on ad blocking software against traffic. I guess it's like most "rights" arguments WRT the internet: open to interpretation until a recognizable regulatory body starts making laws/rules that will stick regardless of regional or national boundaries.
