I guess I fail to see how this makes it better?
"I'm not going to pay for it, so I should get it for free". I don't particularly see how any of that makes it more ethical.

How about when an article gets changed (or removed), without archiving sites, how would you know?
At the end of the day, if its "actually" valuable to someone (e.g their livelyhood depends on it or something), they will probably pay for it.
Maybe better put. Someone else being unethical doesn’t absolve me of ethics, imho.
