WEP is useless from a security standpoint, but at least it clearly delineates a moral line being crossed, in that someone has to download a cracking tool to get into your system. Piggybacking on a completely open system on the other hand is a moral gray area as far as I’m concerned.

Very true. Though WEP is ineffective from a security standpoint, it at least provides a hurdle that someone has to deliberately jump through to prove malicious intent on the part of the unauthorized user accessing the network.
