Is viewing the site content, without watching the ads that support/reward the owner, the same as sneaking into the movies?

To the same extent that I "cheat" the broadcasters by leaving the room during commercials on the television.

No. I don't think it is equivalent to sneaking into the movies. Closer match: not bothering to be seated while the previews are on.
