They didn't ask me if they can use the outlet, and since it's not locked up, they just assumed I don't care if anyone uses it.

Once again your analogy betrays a vast misunderstanding of the way the internet is. Your analogy fails right here because people don't put content on the internet for the purpose of people not viewing it. That outlet is not on your "front lawn", it's flat out in the middle of the public square with "PUBLIC OUTLET" written on it. If you don't want people using that outlet, put it somewhere else.
