      Oh, I consent to the content. Just not to the ads, so I stream the content and my software skips the ads for me automatically. Couldn’t be simpler. Puts me in control over what I do and don’t download onto my computer. I’m not buying anything.

        The author doesn’t consent to you blocking ads, simple as that. Might consent to skipping. Some. In certain situations.

        A shop giving you a free sample of cheese doesn’t mean you can fill your pockets with the contents of the cash register.

          It’s my computer, not theirs. Watching a video isn’t the same as taking money, you seem to have a lot of confusion on this point.
