Friends bought a ranch in northern British Columbia that had a high power transmission line running through it, but no local electric power available. The guy that sold them the ranch had rigged what he called a "rhombus"- basically, a wire parallel to the high tension lines, at a distance away that yielded 110 volts. Power company found it on routine inspection, and tore it down. Rancher offered to pay for installation of a power meter, and then would pay double the going power rate. No dice- if it wasn't an "official" power tap, they wouldn't allow it, period.
