Reuters were accused of acting illegally in guessing the URL of an unreleased report in 2002. I didn’t hear anything after the initial reports so presume it was quietly dropped or settled. blog.citp.princeton.edu/2002/10/31/int…

The person who first downloaded the OBR's document at 11:35 on Budget day (I'm guessing someone at Reuters, given they first reported it) had already guessed the web address and tried and failed to download it 32 times so far that day(!)
