    Except no one is "jumping through hoops". People are merly employing
the facilities that were developed originally with the sites consent and
cooperation. Furthermore, nothing is being "stolen". The content is not
being transformed. The annoying ads are still quite intact.

     Calling it "piracy" is just mindless slander. It frames the situation
in wrongfully biased terms and glosses over important aspects of the 
situation. It's sufficient to state that you or we don't condone violations
of a site's TOS however absurd they may be without resorting to slander.
