As long as I'm not breaking into anything, there's nothing wrong/illegal 
with using anonmnity tools to access a public website. If you put 
something on the public internet for all to see, you can't complain 
about people trying to avoid your attempts to survail them.

Public Internet is just that .. Public. If I can't acccess said site 
with method #1, I can use method #2. If site says "you're using TOR, go 
away", I can use $random_proxy in $random_country and accomplish the 
same thing.

If you want to make your website private, don't put it on the Internet.
