Basically what it comes down to for me is theft. I have a problem when someone steals someone else's content and then profits from it. If they buy the content and own it, they can do what the hell they want with it. But it is wrong for a site to steal (or allow stolen content) to be displayed on their own site. They either profit from it by selling memberships or by selling ads on the site, or both.
On all of these sites the vast majority of the content is stolen. Someone orginally paid a lot of money for the content and then someone else decides to take it and use it for their own. If they get persmisson from the owner of the content then that is fine.
The problem I have with zango is someone takes traffic that is not their and sells it.
Torrents (stolen content) and "adware" (zango) are very very similar issues imo. Both deal with something that we pay for and someone else comes along and takes it from us, and then resells it for profit.
