He said it was unethical, not impossible. Likewise if there is a public fruit stand on the side of the road with no one around, and the owners expect people to take fruit and leave money - sure theres no restrictions to stop you from stealing all the food and the money, but if you do, just because there are no restrictions doesn't mean its not unethical.
- ef4 11y agoDid you really just make the argument that getting up to go to the bathroom during a broadcast TV commercial is the same thing as stealing fruit?
- BookmarkSaver 11y agoDid you really just blatantly ignore his valid point with a BS nitpicking about his comparison?
- nemothekid 11y agoNo, and I don't understand how you can honestly make that conclusion without being purposely obtuse. Intent is a huge factor of this (as is what is ethical), one is being purposely malicious (actively blocking ads, purposely taking money), and the other is just someone using the bathroom.
