Wheras I guess you click every ad on every site you visit, and buy stuff from whatever vendor is advertising? No? Then you are also "fucking over the website owner".
All advertising does is cripple load times and/or stop pages working completely.

Actually you didn't agree to it, you just didn't have a choice. The thing the music (in fact all) industries hate is consumers having a choice. Online piracy isn't about people wanting to steal, it's about wanting something conveniently and easily
without being ripped off.
