The data in this case clearly had value; OP admitted to continuing to change numbers in the URL to get more information about what plans other companies were signing up for, because that information was valuable to them.

You're assuming the "because that information was valuable to them" part. Or you're using such a broad definition of valuable that would also make this comment thread valuable because I have refreshed it multiple times.

While you could construct hypotheticals where OP is using the health plan information to gain actual value, they are all so far-fetched I wouldn't buy them as a fictional plotline. Dude was probably just curious.
