My statement above is that their activities are illegal and wrong, not that one implies the other. They are illegal because of the copyright violation, and wrong because regardless of what the law says, using the images for training despite the artists' every appeal to the contrary (being vocal about the issue, putting a robots.txt file to avoid scraping, and now using adversarial techniques to protect their work from being stolen) is just moronic. It's like shitting on their front yard when they've asked you a million times not to shit in the front yard, put a sign that says "Please don't shit on my front yard", and sprayed insecticide all over the grass to try to deter you from shitting on the front yard. And yet you still shit on their front yard and even have the balls to argue that there's nothing wrong or illegal about it. This is absolutely insane.
