Using someone's wireless takes up finite resources, such as bandwidth, 
IPs, CPU cycles, etc.  Is it necessarily service affecting?  Not in 
most cases, but it still is using resources someone else pays for.  The 
only analogy one can use for open vs. secured wifi netsorks that really 
makes sense is the "locked door" analogy, IMHO.
