145. illogical analogy
"I'm not stealing? So when you're gone, you won't mind if I stop by your house and watch some cable?"

This is not even close to the same thing. There is no physical trespass occuring. If your television service were offered by wide band satellite, and your next door neighbor set up a satellite dish to share the signal being sent to yours... if this cost you no extra money... would it be the same as him coming in to your house and watching your cable? Of course not. If your pool went under the fence seperating your property, could you claim he was trespassing when he swam in it? Perhaps if he had climbed the fence and hopped in your side maybe, but otherwise maybe you ought to keep your pool only accessible from your property.
