THe way the law interprets use of unsecured networks is not unlike the way the law would view someone hotwiring cable TV by slipping a coax cable into an unused outlet.

You aren't paying for the access, its not yours to use (without permission).

The only difference between this and how I described stealing cable is the lack of jury rigging needed to pull it off.
