What would you define as completely open? I mean, the very act of leaking data is a risk; you're performing an act of civil disobedience, which while for the greater good is still likely to land you in some legal trouble if you get caught, depending on what you're leaking. I think breaking the ToS on an access point in starbucks or mcdonalds would probably be inconsequential overall, and any follow up litigation by the owner of the AP would probably just attract undesired hostile attention towards the owner. I mean, mostly, open access APs are set-and-forget amenities. Most places don't even bother to change the default root login for the AP. I really don't think they're suddenly going to care about what someone uploaded from their AP; certainly I can envision law enforcement or federal agencies making a case out of it if it served their needs, but I doubt this is going to be high on their list.
