If the sound waves were free, then no, I wouldn't care. The problem is some ISPs will charge you for every packet (or every packet after a certain limit), so I would be pretty pissed if at the end of the month I got a bill for someone else's downloads.
I have been in Tokyo for a couple of years and there is this really big problem where a lot of people (mainly office workers) don't count their overwork time or are forced not to by company policy. This is illegal; but given the current state of unemployment (which is not so bad when compared to other western countries) many locals are willing to accept this.
Then again, this might happen in the US as well, but I doubt to a large degree since you guys have stronger unions to protect worker's rights.
In related news, the number of muggings attributed to victims wearing e-Vests have now overtaken those using iPods. When interviewed, a mugger was quoted as saying "Well, I get a higher return with them e-Vests. I use the included cables to tie up my victim, their PDA to take over the identity, the digicam to take pictures of the geek and their laptop to upload their photos to my blog. If I'm lucky, an iPod will be hidden somewhere as well; I got over 5,000 songs one time and 10 hours of free porn. Man, that dude was into some nasty shit. Oh, and don't forget the bottled mineral water. That's a bonus."

Weather indicators usually display what the weather will be like for the whole day, e.g. sunny in morning, but rain at night.
