I wonder what would happen if you were using an ISP that blocked traffic to their ad-servers (for whatever reason)?
Would the same reasoning still apply if, for some reason, the DNS resolver on your local system just couldn't do the work to direct your browser to their ad-servers?
Would you still be "stealing" their content if, for some reason, your system could NOT connect to their ad-serves, such as maybe downtime at their ad-servers?
I wonder how they would feel if someone was to just add "127.0.0.1 <adserver IP name>" to their local hosts file?
I think they're on a hiding to nothing. They're likely to annoy the fairly large FireFox user group. I reckon this guy has just done it to drum up traffic for his business.
