    I understand your reasoning for calling ad-blocking for piracy, but I’m not sure I agree, or else we have to split “piracy” into degrees.

      So what if it has to be split into degrees? The world is a complex place and wishing it was simple doesn’t make it so.

        Just use another word for something that is in some ways similar to piracy, but isn’t piracy.

        2pt… Had an important point: piracy = copyright infringement.

        Blocking ads is a ToS violation, not piracy.

        By describing what you mean, instead of a word which often leads to discussions on word definitions, you can avoid the latter.

        I found saying “homophobia” lead to talk about “I don’t fear them” (phobia) rather than discussion on mistreatment. So instead I would say “aversion to homosexuality”.
