[Year 12 IT Apps] Those email "footnotes"

My original question was about the specific sentence "You must not disclose 
or use the information in this email if you are not the intended recipient."

Copyright does not prevent the disclosure of information or the use of that 
information so long as that use is within the copyright laws.

So I get an email from Fred, that was not intended for me. But that email 
contains information about some weird activities by Bert.

The email contains a footer  saying

"You must not disclose or use the information in this email if you are not 
the intended recipient."

I decide to forward Fred's email to lots of other people.
