It's completely ridiculous to ethically or legally equate trespass and theft on/with physical property with data copying and access. Whereas I can be expected to know you don't want me looking through your briefcase, given a link to something without any context is nowhere near as clear. Your example makes sense only for data where someone is guessing usernames and passwords because they know they are trying to circumvent some access control. It absolutely does not make sense for guessing addresses.
Sending requests to servers must be likened to finding publicly posted data. E.g, Buildings 1, 2, and 3 all have neat flyers, so you look at building 4's flyer. Oops, that was a felony.
If your power adapter is in glass case 1, and I curiously glance at glass case 2 and see the undergarments was I wrong?
