using someone else's unsecured wireles router to get internet access is the same as downloading music for free- it's technically illegal, but people think they are entitled to it.
of course, there is a sticker right on every wireless device that says that it must accept any "interference" that it encounters and the airwaves are technically public domain in the USA.. so anyone that isn't smart enough to shut off or otherwise secure the wireless part of their router is kinda sorta in a way unknowingly giving anyone access to their internet portal. kind of like leaving the keys in your unlocked Cadillac in a high crime neighborhood..
