<<you don't have the right to cost that website money (bandwidth, etc.) without anything in exchange.
It is a fascinating concept. If I put a blog up, I have a right to demand that people pay me one way or the other. But then as a person that visits that site, that person has no right to say nope. Sold. Pay me about $3.50 for this nugget.
<You don't like it? Don't ever go (back?) to that website again, I'm sure there's some blacklist extensions out there.
It is more and more what I do. If the paywall gets too obtrusive, I don't even try to spend time fiddling too much ( I mostly browse with noscript on by default these days).
edit: removed tangent about corps and moved pay me bit to the front to make a point
