On a side note, I didn't particularly like the analogy you proposed on the second page of this thread. The reason I didn't like it is that right from the get-go, the "bad guy" from the analogy is breaking into the resort, and stealing the food and comfort. So from the very begging, you're already shining a light of immorality onto those, and I don't think this is the case at all.

Maybe it's just that we see things differently...We come from different backgrounds, it's to be expected. Here's an analogy I've come up with which I think is more fitting:
_____________
You're in a small village, in which a man (lets call him Tom) is responsible for providing the people with cherries. Consequently, he owns may, many cherry trees. He can't possible pick them all. Because of this, whenever anyone comes around and asks for money, Tom instruct them to pick a few cherries, and then he will pay them money. Of course, he make more profit from a basket of cherries than do the people who pick them for him. All Tom asks is that people sign a sheet, so that he has a record of who has worked for him.

Tom's a fair employer, and word of him crosses from village to village. Every once in a while, a poor, illiterate straggler from one of the poorer villages, having heard of what Tom does, will come around and pick cherries without signing the sheet (remember he's illiterate), but always gives Tom the full baskets, and Tom pays him respectively.
____________

I know it's not perfect, but I feel it's more accurate than the hotel one. Yes, the straggler IS breaking the rules, but he isn't stealing anything (like illegal immigrants aren't necessarily stealing anything). And if the straggler uses the money to pay for his family to eat, where's the harm?
