Bullshit...

This is clearly a case where the law is wrong. Assigning an IP address to any node that requests one is a clear cut case of consent. I wouldn't even call it "tacit". The protocols are available to clearly designate a public network from a private one. If you have your network set to public, then you are inviting people to use it, period. That's why the protocols were developed the way they were.
