Lets say for example, I run a night club and charge $20 cover charge to enter, if you don't like that, you go to a different night club, no? or do you think it's ok to sneak through the back door, because the cover charge is "excessive"?

advertising, excessive or not, is a revenue stream for the website owner... if you are disabling advertising, you are consuming content without paying full price for it, in effect fucking over the website owner...
