My new provider in the Portland area (Speakeasy) doesn't care if I share my connection with others. No one is stealing if they use my (currently theoretical) public wireless node; I intend it to be open and it does not violate my provider's terms of service. There's really no way to know if Joe intends his node to be public or not, without asking. But I think the thread has drifted a bit...

Whether or not "Joe" wants to give Internet service away for free is irrelevant. You would be stealing it from the ISP provider. The "spirit of the law" is if it's a service you need to pay for it. If are you receiving something you aren't paying for, you are stealing.
