That's a false analogy. Obviously, not everything on the web server itself
is public. For example, www.lego.com runs on Microsoft IIS on top of NT 4 --
obviously the system software is not publicly viewable. But everything in
the "documents to be made publicly available" area of the web server
certainly is. Just like "everything in the sales bins in a store is assumed
to be for sale". But that's still not very good, because viewing something
isn't even close to the same thing as purchasing it.
A better analogy might be:
Anything in a newspaper is meant to be read. That's what a newspaper is for.
(To pound on my earlier point a bit more: it doesn't matter if it's on the
front page, or happens to be on page D47, at the bottom of the third column
and not listed in the index.)
