Gotta love the use of quotes here:
In other words, ignore this message from our lawyers.
This whole message reads like “we don’t actually care but we have to say that we do 😉🙂↕️”
Yep, the legal team advised a scare tactic akin to ISPs fishing for low-effort compliance. Reminds me of CAMP & the ATF busting farms in Mendicino until the '10s.
I often tell my students “whatever you do, don’t go to libgen dot rs to download our textbook illegally. You’re gonna want to avoid Anna’s archive as well. You really want to steer clear from these malicious websites.”
Some people use quotes for emphasis, though. So, not sure if this faculty's on our side.
