It's not ageism. It's incompetence. If the content he was allowed to download sans-credentials was publicly available, the host/admin fucked up. If I do a wget for {random_url} and it returns a 200 range response code - that's not my fault - that's the admin. If I'm not supposed to see it, it should return a 403.

Not Canadian, but I expect this teen to be let off completely free.

I write this as I'm trying to recover my wife's website by scraping archive.org and respecting various 400 & 500 level errors.
