My whole problem with the ethics debate is that it hinges on the idea that there's some sort of implied social contract that one has to be at least open to the idea of being sold something before one is able to ethically enter a place of business. I know of (nor recognize) any such binding social contract or duty. I will walk into a public place of business and back out of it with any mindset on purchasing/not purchasing that I choose--with my ethics entirely intact.

If and when I walk past a sign that indicates that looky-loos, browsers, and showcasers are not welcome in this establishment (or the proprietor tells me so), then that is the point when my ethics can be questioned by others. Until such time, only my own ethics apply.
