Actually, yes it is very different. It is more akin to complaining that I am listening to the music someone is blaring at 3am. If the signal is trespassing off of the originator's property, they don't have much right to complain if someone casually intercepts it.

If the person trespasses ONTO the property where the wifi is in order to use it, then it is like the situation you described.
