Is that really your concern?
Whether you pay for it?
Let’s put it this way: paying for or not paying for stolen goods. Does it make any difference?
Why is that remotely relevant?
You want to argue “are the good stolen?” Sure. That’s a discussion we can have.
Did you pay for them or not? Who cares?
That's a terrible analogy. Until the scrapers start deleting all other copies of what what they're scraping, "stealing" the art in a traditional sense, there's no harm done in the process of training the network. Any harm done comes after that.
