Working on a company where 80% of our revenue is because of advertising I disagree.
There are two main difference between the RIAA "every pirate is a stolen sale" and adblock.
1)When you "pirate" something it doesn't mean that you "pirate" everything, while if you install adblock you block the ads on every site.
2)When you "pirate" something it doesn't mean that what you have pirated would have been a legal purchase. But if you go to a website you would have gone there with or without ads. You can say that you won't have clicked on the ad or won't have purhcased anything. But almost 99% of our ads revenue is on impressions and not on click or conversion, so it doesn't really matter if you click or convert the ad.
But, right know, the number of people that use adblock are not that big of a deal (at least on our niche market) that you have to work on fighting it because, right know (for us), it is not worth it.
