An adblocker being "theft" is a more compelling argument than piracy, really.
You're still using and benefiting from the site, incurring server costs...but then denying them their way of funding it.
Piracy doesn't even really take anything from the company.

the same people who cry about game piracy has no issue stealing winrar (these days they'll just "herp derp i youze 7zip") or porn, or like tc says, ad revenue

game fanboys are a funny lot.
