Hey all. I don't want to overreact or make assumptions here, but I also don't want to underreact. User {{Np|TheDiaboloBoy}} has made a lot of requests here since 2023, and their account shows no mainspace contributions, which leads me to believe the resources they're requesting are not for the purpose of contributing to Wikipedia. I've [[User talk:TheDiaboloBoy#Requesting resources|brought this up]] on their talk page, but I want to leave a note for volunteers as well. (I've also linked to that talk page discussion on their open requests.)

Per the notes at the top of the request page, {{Tq|Individual editors are solely responsible for sharing copyrighted content and assume all legal risks.}} Personally, I will no longer be sharing copyrighted content with them, as the fair use exception doesn't seem to work if they're not contributing here, and I don't want to take on that legal risk. I suppose it's up to other volunteers whether you want to continue sharing resources with them.
