Actually, there was a case in Sweden a couple of years back, where a
reporter managed to access an anual report for a company, a couple of
days before the report became public.
He managed this by guessing url:s.

The reporter got sued, and the court ruled that accessing material,
private or not, by typing in url's is not illegal. Meaning that I
would be allowed to download your book manuscript if I happened to
stumble on the web adress. If the adress was not protected of course.
