Aren't they stealing electricity from these users?
It sounds like nothing but one of the ways laws developed around FAX machine spam was judges said you were costing the end person real money in sheets of paper. Certainly running the second WiFi has some small amount of additional power requirement. I'm not sure it's even barely measurable but it is more then zero which makes it like the fax paper reasoning.
