Analogy: Once a movie starts and the theater isn't selling anymore tickets, can I sneak in the back door? After all, they weren't going to make any money on me.
The grey area I was alluding to was the difference in opinion amongst the members here not the law. Your analogy doesn't really fit because you are saying you didn't buy a ticket and are sneaking in. A more proper analogy would be you bought movie tickets changed your mind and went into a different movie than the one you originally chose.
