Otherwise, if you want an analogy, it is like a light. Your neighbor has his home lit well, and the light spills over into the front yard, and onto the sidewalk. Now, are you just walking on the sidewalk, or are you peering in-between the gaps in the blinds to see what lies inside?
So if I follow your analogy, it's OK to come to your house and take anything I want if you are not using it so long as I return it before you need it.
