| > the comparison to stealing really misses the mark I know this always triggers a hard-coded response based on regex, but the comparison doesn't rely on the specifics of stealing, so it's not a valid criticism. The logic is: people offer things in exchange for a price. You can take the things in exchange for the price, or you can leave the things. You shouldn't take the things without paying the price. |

| I make a GET request and I get a response back. It’s the server’s choice/logic how to respond. What I do with the string response is my own business. |

| Why? I truly believe I have no moral obligation to any of these entities and I see them as amoral organizations _at best_ who can't possibly reciprocate |

| ▲ | philipallstar 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Can you tell me the moral difference between that and saying that you don't believe you have a moral obligation to Porsche dealerships? | | |
| ▲ | snapcaster 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Porsche dealerships aren't trying to brainwash me. I see advertising companies as an adversary and I don't owe enemies anything | | |
| ▲ | philipallstar 2 days ago | parent [-] | | But it's not the advertising company you're denying revenue from. It's the website you're visiting, who've chosen to pay for the content you're happy to take via advertising. | | |

| ▲ | philipallstar 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Sorry, I can't figure out what point you're trying to make. Can you speak plainly? |
