"You misunderstand. Permission IS requested AND granted."
BS. You turn the knob on my gas grill and the gas comes on. It still isn't yours.
A machine cannot give you permission to use my stuff. Only I can do that. Ask the owner first.
When you set up a machine to broadcast "Hey! I'm here! Free and open access! Yes you may attach, with no key required!" that's giving permission.
hey I agree with your viewpoint, people are slowly losing the concept of private property, you might find this thread interesting;
