Big difference, when you come to my site you are using up my resources. Once you pick up the paper you are using your resources, on my site you are using mine.
But I used the newspaper's trucks, printing press, expensive paper and ink, reporters...do you really see a difference? I don't come to your site - I request information from your servers, and your servers deliver it to me just like a newspaper delivers to my door. There is no additional expense once it gets to my door. Your costs have already been spent. If I get a free newspaper delivered to my door, I can pay my neighbor to cut out all the ads. I have ever right to do that. Likewise, when your bits and bytes arrive at the browser installed on my physical machine, I have every right to have software parse out the ads.
