I agree, Kylearan.
"Borrowing" something without permission is stealing. Period.
The fact that it is not murder does not even need to enter into the conversation. "Sure it's bad, but in my view there's much worse out there to spend time worrying about." The police certainly have more important things to do than catch a bandwidth thief but that does not mean it isn't wrong.
It is not the owners fault that you choose to steal bandwidth whether he passwords his system or not. "Locks keep honest people honest" may be words to live by but it doesn't change the fact that you choose to use his network without permission.
