We aren't entitled to access a site or its information, but neither are they to our personal information. This whole system has broken down as the implicit understanding or what is being given and what is being paid has been trampled on by both sides.
The website may deserve to get recompense for their content, but I deserve to know what I'm paying just as much, if not more.
If you're depriving me of something in our transaction that I'm not aware of, then at least part of what happened was theft. If doesn't matter that I didn't know about it until days, weeks, years or even decades later. If you've deprived me of something that we didn't agree upon, you've stolen from me. Even if in this case it's privacy. Especially in this case because it's privacy, because you can never get it back.
