Can you borrow the city dump truck because the city paid for it with taxes?

No.

The same rule applies.

The city wants to build a net for itself. If it were to give everyone 
access, the net in question would have to be many orders of magnitude 
larger... cost more, etc.

Publically owned does not mean public resource. It never has, and it 
probably never will.

I'm speaking of reality here, not some form of anarchistic, or marxist 
idealistic plan.
