  I looked it up and a 451 error is entirely on the website and not on the user.

    No, 400-series errors are user errors. Not that you necessarily did something wrong, but the server did everything right. 500-series errors mean the server itself fucked up.

    In this case, the error isn’t very different from 403 forbidden, except it specifies it’s forbidden by law, not just server policy.

        The user erred in attempting to access a forbidden resource, yes. The server was perfectly capable of providing it, but it refused. That’s how HTTP status codes work.
