I personally do not know of one, I beleive as with burglary and other 
crimes, access is not presumed authorised just because
the party didnt say that you could not go there.  However it is an 
interested topic as connecting a system to the internet you are
in essence putting it on a shared network so it is probably advisable to 
safe guard yourself and use one.
