To be honest, if I changed an ID on a URL, I expect it to say "not found" or "not authorised" if I am not allowed to see it.
If it doesn't say such things, than I can expect that it is ok to view.
That is what I have come to expect of such web pages.
- tptacek 14y agoGood luck.
- mparlane 14y agoSo if I made a website called http://thisisstep1.com/ http://thisisstep1.com/ And it said "Coming soon." And someone found out they can goto http://thisisstep2.com/ http://thisisstep2.com/. Should I be able to say "But.. you aren't meant to go there!" ? At what point does your legal boundary lie for what is considered a public webpage and what is considered "not authorised."
- statictype 14y agoWhat matters is intent. Did you intend to go there with the purpose of violating some agreement? Or did you stumble there by accident. I think that makes a difference.
