Since when is displaying the web using Flash or Real Player 'correct'?

[...having just blasted a work colleague for sending me to a website  
that shows 'books' in Flash format, whereby the sound of a page  
turning accompanies the 'page turn', along with the graphics of  
showing a page turning. It might have been fun if only the actual  
CONTENT was readable (it wasn't: too small) or even able to be copied  
(it wasn't), or otherwise manipulated (it wasn't).]
