That's your opinion. I think jumping onto someone's network without explicitly being invited is wrong. If the owner "sees" you, the first thing they'll think is "There is a hacker on my network".
Therefore you ARE a hacker.
In other words, if you were not invited, you shouldn't be there and if the owner thinks you're a hacker, then you are a hacker.
If the label bothers you, don't steal someone's bandwidth.

I agree that jumping onto someone else's network is "wrong." But there is currently no legislation to say it's illegal or any way to prove who is on your network.
I'm sorry my friend but just someone thinks your a hacker doesn't mean it's the truth. Thats an argument my 13 year old brother would use. If I remember right it's a self fullfilling prophecy type of argument.
I'm tired of all these uneducated people going around calling random people hackers. I'd say about 80% of the people called hackers are really just script kiddies, the other 20% barely know where the on button is on the computer. A true hacker you wont find breaking into home networks. The term hacker is thrown around way to often these days and i'm personally tired of hearing it overused.
I have no need to use anyone bandwidth except my own.
Since you like analogy's so much, an unprotected wifi is analogous to a public museum. Anyone is welcome to stop by and check it out.
a poorly secured network (mac filtering, wep, etc.) Is more like an amusement park. There's lots of stuff going on inside, there's a way in but you have to pay for it. If your sneaky you can get in without having to pay for it.
a wired lan is going to be more like a federal penitentiary with gaurds posted everywhere and bloodhounds all over making sure everything is all good.
and the 100% secured network (a computer isolated with no network access or a group of computers only interconnected to each other with no outside access) would be like alcatraz surrounded by molton lava.
