No I don't in this case, because their conditions are stupid. If
someone were to give you a car for free, but only if you promise to
drive it on gravel roads do you think you would find that dumb? Would
you drive it on whatever roads you wanted to?
How about if they were to give you a coke, but tell you that you can
only drink it out of pink cups, would you go out of your way to not
drink it out of a green cup? How about if it was a pink cup, but you
painted it green?
That is the kind of stupidity that is being done here. "You can watch
our shows but only from a computer that is connected to a monitor." so
people are taking their computer (the approved "pink cup") and
connecting it to their TV (painting the cup "green")
There is no difference to Hulu how I watch the show, I am still watching
their ad.
