Legality/morality of using open wireless points:
"If I leave my door unlocked are you going to come into my house
in the middle of the night because you need to use the restroom?
I pay a fixed rate for water. It's cold water so there is no
electricity usage. No financial loss. I have 2.5 bathrooms, so no
loss of usage on my end. Is this OK? Please, try this and we'll
see if it's OK."
