Cheekhta hoon, Band chaar deewari mein..

 

 

The basis of ethics is this: are my acoitns harming someone else (or even just annoying them). If so, my acoitns are unethical. I fail to see how blocking ads when I view a website is harming anyone. The person who owns the site is still getting paid by the advertiser and is still getting credit for a page view. There's no way for the advertiser to know that I didn't look at the ad. There isn't even any way for the owner of the site to know whether or not I looked at the ad my browser downloaded it, that's all they know. To other people my acoitns are opaque. I'm the only one affected by my acoitns in this case, therefore my acoitns are not unethical. Legality is a separate issue but I will personally always choose ethical action over legal action.
