I was just trying to make an analogy with physical items. I have seen 
large companies giving away free samples plenty of times before as a 
marketing tool.

When I got free samples before nobody told me it was free or part of a 
marketing campaign, I just assumed it was because I was not asked to 
pay. Was I meant to check before accepting the goods?

Well this is from the "dishonesty" page that it links to:


to be regarded as dishonest:
(a) if he appropriates the property in the belief that he has in law the 
right to deprive the other of it, on behalf of himself or of a third 
person; or"

So it all comes down to whether the person *believes* they have a right 
to the item or not, or rather whatever a court thinks they believed.
