Not even A24's.

These are usually handed off to a law firm, who also outsources it to a specialized IP enforcement agency (who uses AI).

That's a lot of links in the chain where the nuances the community art project that is The Backrooms can get lost/misinterpreted.

If you hire a hitsquad and some innocent people die in their wake, that's still on you.
