It's not analogous because in internet protocols the server has to actively send the "property" in response to a specific request to access it. If a request is made and a response freely given with no further authentication required then it is a stretch to compare this to coming onto someone's property without invitation. Perhaps if one is accessing unauthenticated services on a private network this analogy would sort of work, but the assumption is that if you run a service that responds to random requests on the public internet you intended the responses to be public. It is more like an owner hiring someone to stand on their property and invite people in then complaining that they gave their employee poor directions and faulting the public for trespass.
