Your point is mistaken. The direct mail vendors have no say in if you actually read the material. What we are objecting to is that your mailman isn't delivering them to you so that you have the choice to read them or not. When a webpage is reconfigured not by the end user, not allowing the end user to make that decision, that should be illegal, much like stealing the mail from your mailbox would be.

I am a blogger who gets part of my revenue from the ads that people click on when they visit my site. Many of my readers are from a local university that not only blocks the ads, but when my page comes up on the computers there, the page itself has been realigned so that it doesn't even look like there should be an ad there. I agree completely that the user should have the choice of clicking or not clicking. I don't use pop-ups, but I see this sort of like having one side of the church with an offering plate, and the other side not being told where the collection box was hidden. Then we wonder why the priest looks hungry and can't deliver the homily well.
