It’s not piracy in any way shape or form. If they sent the document to your computer then you have the document, reading that document and saving it elsewhere are not crimes and never can be, because the only way the Internet works is by transmitting the document to you where your computer must store it in some way.
This is how I feel about ads. If I request an article or video from a website and they send it to me alongside an ad, shouldn’t I just be able to say “no thank you” to the ad and not accept it\block it. The content I asked for was willingly sent to me so it seems hard to claim that it was stolen or pirated.
Except that is not how it works and courts have in the past ruled for the website and against people who took “secret” information out of web responses that were “not supposed to be displayed” in the browser.

No you’re most likely talking about computer access, not piracy. And please do link the ones you’re talking about.
Weird, I’ve read the opposite. I’ve heard courts have ruled that data returned by servers is public, even if they’re obscured in the front end
Name the cases.
