Is this correct? What am I actually stealing?

My wife thought the situation was analogous to the one where your neighbour has a bright light on his house, by which you are able to read at night. Yes, you would be "using" the electricity for which he pays - but you would not be stealing anything.

I am inclined to agree with my wife on this one. As I often am.
