Hey thanks I’ll try Anna’s archive too.

Based on your answer and the others, it seems like I just need to practice basic internet hygiene and I won’t get any trouble.

Knowledge and peace of mind are priceless, thanks 🙏

I’m worried about the law’s attention for illegal procurement of otherwise legal works. I’m depriving rent collectors (oh no) and want to stay off their radar.

I guess my threat model is my ISP snitching on me. Realistic consequences? Probably none, this is more of about trying to keep it that way and having peace of mind I guess.
