So does the electric service that the neighbor is paying for to light the bulb that is shining on the porch. Seems like a perfectly valid analogy and therefore is the same/comparable.

Although reading your book using your neighbor's light would not in any way impact your neighbor -- however downloading pr0n on your neighbor's wireless connection would have a big impact. ;D

And you can't shut out the neighbor from using his electricity like you can shut him out of using his own wifi connection by securing it once in. ;)

I guess this is a big deal in Europe where your telecommunications companies are screwing you in the backside by incorporating bandwidth limits. Here in the states (at least in California and Idaho where I have lived), broadband is unlimited...so unless the jackass was continuously streaming pron from next door sucking up ACTIVE bandwidth, I doubt anyone would give two shits if someone was sucking off their wireless connection.
That said...this is the reason I don't do wireless...AT ALL.

Not so true actually. Comcast has been quietly notifying high bandwidth users that they are in violation of their TOS and some have even had their service terminated.
