Do not forget that accessing stuff on Google can probably get you to prison.

When you see something illegal on Google that should have never been published publicly you need to immediately avert your eyes and plug your ears. ๐Ÿ™‰

Don't be the next Aaron Swartz...

Aaron Swartz story is a bit different, because he actually paid for those documents via taxpayer money.

But other parts of your comment is true. A good analogy: if someone leaves their house open, and you walk in, that is still ~~burglary~~ trespassing.

I think you mean it's still trespassing, burglary requires intent to commit a crime while entering a building illegally.
