strosien,
No one here will dispute your right to share something that you own and pay for; i.e. your network and bandwidth. If you want to invite every every person walking down the street in to watch your TV, your privilege. If you want to let every person with wireless on your network, have at it! It is entirely a conscious decision by you.
However, if something is mine, you have no right to compel me to pay for something for your use. If I am ignorant of security issues (as too many wireless users are) it is even worse, as you are stealing from those who are not even aware of your actions. This is on the same level as those who would take from a blind man.
That morally wrong, ethically wrong, and defined in the law as theft. The INTENT of the law is to protect those who would be taken advantage of by the freeloaders.
End of discussion.
