I admit, I am guilty of this. One two different occasions, I was renting
room space in a hotel/conference center (no, not a sleeping room, but a
meeting room), and I plugged my mac laptop into their marked ethernet
jacks, and used DHCP to gain access, and get out to the internet... and
no, I was not paying for (nor was charged for) use of it (yes, it was an
extra fee if I "officially" wanted to use it).
