That's not necessarily true. Even if a company makes the mistake of not securing data correctly, those that make use of this data can still be at fault.

If a company leaves a server wide open, you still can't legally steal information from it.

that's kind of a grey area - digitally copying something that's public domain isnt stealing.

I don't see how this is any different than if Google search included text from a page that shouldn't be public.
