Okay, how about this analogy:  I'm at the beach and someone on the next 
blanket is playing a radio.  Is it ok if I listen, or do I have to ask 
the radio's owner for permission?  I wouldn't even think of going over 
and changing the radio station or turning up the volume, but I would 
probably enjoy the transmission--or move to another part of the beach 
if I didn't like the tunes.
