There is an option in all browsers to disable javascript. That, combined with the fact that you are requesting files from a website (as opposed to them being surreptitiously forced onto your machine) implies consent to execute the code sent to you. Finally, the code made no attempt to go beyond user-granted access limits (in this case the ability to run javascript in the browser, a decision which is entirely under the control of the user).

I cannot see how a fraud or hacking case of any kind could be made here, even if they got the code.
