So by that analogy I guess when I leave the room during a football game's commercial breaks, I'm "stealing"?

A company wants to put an ad on a web page I look at fine - you want to control my windows and dominate my screen - no thanks - that is out of bounds!

When I go to a site I expect to see the site, not an ad for making my penis bigger or to check my credit rating. If I wanted to see those I would go to those sites.

What is nuke everything_enhanced? A shutdown button and go exercise? I'll take it.
