Yep, if they're too dumb to password protect it, have at it.
Is "borrowing" wireless wrong?
If your neighbor has a apple tree in his yard, and the branches extend over the property line to your yard, would you eat the apples on your side of the tree?

If you don't secure it, you're pretty much giving permission for it to be used.
Would anyone be interested in an ethics discussion thread? Basically just everyday life things (nothing too heady).

Then again, I don't know why anybody wouldn't password protect their network. That's just asking for trouble.
My parents just got a new router and I was walking them through the setup over the phone. The setup wizard (which I imagine most people will use) leaves it unsecured, not even giving you the option to secure it. You have to take care of that separately, afterwards. Not cool.
I don't believe that's true in most places from a legal standpoint, let alone using something that is not yours without explicit permission of the owner.

6. "Computer network" means the interconnection of hardwire or
wireless communication lines with a computer through remote terminals,
or a complex consisting of two or more interconnected computers.
Wrong is wrong. You could ask if you could use it, and in return you can teach them how to lock their network down.

I leave mine unlocked.. easier with all the things I have on it. I have a secondary firewall to protect from intrusion into my system.
I would just say that it would be "rude" to eat up the bandwidth by downloading porn or file sharing..
