Default Is this ethical?

So I came across this on a fairly well know web site and I was wanting to see what everyone thinks. Is this ethical?

h1 {
display: block;
height: 150px;
width: 533px;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 200px;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
font-size: 8px;
text-indent: -9000px;
overflow: hidden; }

It appears to me that they are attempting to have H1 tags with text in them, but not show them on the actual page. So what does everyone think?

My personal take is that it is wrong, and poor practice to say the least. Will CSS become the new tool to spam the search engines? Is this spamming? What would this be called if not spam?
