That's rather a stretch of logic. More accurate to say that the OP
would simply be violating the TOS (Terms Of Service) and would find
that service discontinued at some point when the ISP's port scans or
packet sniffers detect such traffic {to|from} the subscriber, as
will eventually happen sooner or later.

That is not a stretch at all. If you take something you didn't pay
for, you are stealing. If Charter charges an extra $9/month to run servers
and you run servers without paying them, you are stealing those
$9/month from them.

Shoplift a $9 item from a store and it's stealing, with legal consequences
that include a criminal record. Tell me someone got a criminal citation for
operating a server without paying the commercial premium charged by their
ISP. You can't. Many people have had their service terminated for doing so
in violation of their TOS, however.
