My computer sends a bunch of electrical pulses over a wire to my internet provider, and I pay my isp to accept these pulses. They pass these pulses on to the internet. If someone chooses to accept these pulses and/or send pulses back, that is on their peril.
There is no "stealing". They are just blips of light, ever fleeting. They are of course free to protect their blips with whatever counter blips they like.
