Yes, technically even HTML pages need permission to view, it is just that it is accepted that they are for public view. But if a page is obviously not for the public (eg if a company puts it's financial report on a web page for the company directors only) they can take out criminal proceedings against anyone visiting it.

A few years ago Google were successfully sued for giving links to non passworded but non public HTML page. If someone as big as Google with the money for real legal muscle could not win, what hope for the rest of us?
