are the results of your actions (assuming many many people do the same) really what you want? Are they best for society?
Yes, and yes. If many people skip commercials, AOL/TW looses money and stops making TV. Seems good to me. Is this good for society? Hmm.. I think we all know the answer to that:) (hint: yes)
Maybe you don't care, because you prefer pay TV or renting DVDs, but why would you take that choice away from everyone else?
If they're so concerned about saving TV, let them watch the ads! Personally, I feel no more obligation to watch the ads in order to save TV from bankrupcy than I feel to buy a happy meal in order to save McDonalds from bankrupcy. Sure, I might not care if McDonalds goes out of business, but think of the children! Buy a Happy Meal today to ensure that your kids can still get one tomorrow!
