"But according to Troy Mursch, a security expert who spends much of his time tracking Coinhive and other instances of “cryptojacking,” killing the key doesn’t do anything to stop Coinhive’s code from continuing to mine Monero on a hacked site. Once a key is invalidated, Mursch said, Coinhive keeps 100 percent of the cryptocurrency mined by sites tied to that account from then on."
This is where I think Coinhive ethically crosses the line; perhaps legally, too. The mining scripts should stop when contacting Coinhive and determining that the specified key/ID has been disabled due to complaints or fraud.
