I actually dont see ANYTHING wrong with it and its definitely not stealing.

If any program has a strong product, they would be insane to send traffic to third parties and competitors to pick up peanuts from Adsense. For me as an affiliate it means, I need to send them at least 2 or 3 times as much traffic to make the same amount of money from signups, but they make more anyhow. So, of course I am going to cut the links.
The other issue I have: They apologized and said in an official AFF reply that this was a mistake and the ad blocks would disappear. They lied to me about this. It's very sad, but leaves me with no other choice than to cut traffic to them until they make up for it.
I regret this step as I am very loyal to my partners and sponsors. I only quit working with them if they really mess up. I am afraid to say, AFF has really messed up big time, now. I wish I could say otherwise.
BTW, it's not about the legal fine print. It's about being trust worthy. When you say A and mean B to mislead .... it's not the best thing to do.
