On one hand, I can understand the view of the website owners. They need ads to be viewed since it is a method of income and that's always important. In fact, around a year ago, there was an incident where a German company took AdBlock Plus to court, claiming it was illegal to block ads that bring in money (here). The court ruled in favour of AdBlock, declaring that it is perfectly legal.
On the other hand, and this is what I support, the freedom to block ads should be a basic right, much in the same way that the laws that deal with spam (here). Besides, most ads that are thrown in your face are completely unrelated and rarely ever make you want to buy the product (at least, to me).
