Your privacy isn't violated if you avail yourself of someone else's property.

Violation and legality are two entirely different things.

[taneq]

Depends whether you were aware of the consequences of accessing that property. If you walk through my front gate and I pants you, take photos of your junk and upload them, you'll probably be upset unless I had a sign on the gate saying (in clear language, not 14 pages of irrelevant 6pt legalese hiding a link to the actual 'privacy policy' document which admits in obfuscated language that pantsing is an option) that this would happen.

No. When all "gates" in a domain have this sign, it isn't less upsetting.

The networks of ISPs you're "availing yourself to" are their property.
