I've got 45vdc on mine, but it's really not free because I'm paying for phone service.
Cancel the phone service and the voltage would go away I'm sure. Also notice the guy plugs in a simple LED light that doesn't take much voltage or put out much light. I guess you could plug one in every phone jack around the house but that wouldn't do much for light really.
Like Swanny said, I wouldn't consider it theft either because your paying for the service, and along with the service comes the voltage.
