I'm pretty sure this doesn't apply to the Internet. If you leave data open to anyone in the world, it's not trespassing when someone decides to download it. I'm pretty sure also that a certain percentage leave them open deliberately. Wither it's to the global Internet at large or only their friends, the onus of securing data is on them.
