So it's a bit as if Linux Organization told its contributors you can bring in infringing code but you must agree you are liable for any infringement?

But if a lawsuit was later brought who would be sued? The individual author or the organization? In other words can an organization reduce its liability if it tells its employees "You can break the law as long as you agree you are solely responsible for such illegal actions?

It would seem to me that the employer would be liable if they "encourage" this way of working?
