Rake is not stealing. This is understood up front and by playing there, you are agreeing to it. Rake is how the site is compensated for providing us with a game... don't forget about all of their expenses in setting up the infrastructure for us to play on (software, hardware), marketing to get players there for us to play, customer service, and so on and so on.
Do they still turn a profit at the end of the day? Of course.... but they are entitled to, just like you are when you "steal" from your customers by charging them $9.99 for a pizza.
