nor do you get shot for ignoring takedown notices, there are in language many things such as analogy, metaphor and so forth that people generally manage to follow.
Let me rephrase the first paragraph then -
anyone can ignore anything anytime for any reason whatsoever but in some cases that can lead to a bad outcome for the person doing the ignoring.
- note: I realize github is not a person, but I will use person in my example nonetheless.
The implication of the above is that sometimes people do not ignore things they could because they fear a bad outcome.
In the example using orders and shot, by making anything an order which is very strict, and bad outcome shot which is very bad indeed it should generally have the rhetorical effect of making the implication that ignoring the thing under discussion is more risky than otherwise and so a wise or cowardly person (take your pick) may choose not to ignore it.
Why are you talking about orders? DMCA takedown notices aren't orders.
