Getting caught stealing a .pdf worth $ directly from its publisher?

I'm taking a p hard science class this semester.
The class comes with a lab manual.
I went to the publisher's website and found the answer key to the lab manual for sale "for instructors only."
Basically, on top of paying $35 you had to be able to prove you were a college professor teaching this publisher's material in your course.
Without much effort at all (seriously, I'm a fucking retard and I can't believe what I tried fucking worked holy SHIT) I gained access to the complete answer key in .pdf format ON THE PUBLISHER'S SITE. All I did was look at the source code for the link, pick out a .pdf, and copied it into the URL bar. And there it was.

Anyway, I have the file up in a tab right now and I'm prepared to download it but I'm afraid I could be traced and ultimately identified and thrown out of class/barred from ever getting in to this program again

Can I be traced/caught by doing this?
Is there any risk?

Thanks.

Then it is already downloaded.

Download it desu.
Nothing lost, and worse comes to worse, blame your neighbor.

What publisher?

MAKI!!!

I can't even believe you're worried about that?

if it really bothers you that much, just go to some public place like a mcdonalds, sit down with the laptop, and do it there

problem solved

I don't have the .pdf on my hardrive. I doubt I'm in much shit at this point.

This desu, it's already too late. tl;dr they will look in the IP logs, find your IP, and raep ur anus.

Yes you do retard. Everything you view in your browser is downloaded.

This is akin to saying "but your honor, I didn't actually download the child porn! I simply had it open in chrome!"

It's in your browser cache you tech-illiterate retard. Even if it wasn't, they have your IP in their access logs.

It's in your browser's cache which is on your hard drive.
