The "blatantly illegal" part is the part I'm not understanding. I drew something, I did some processing on it, I put it online, someone grabbed it and used it without my permission. I'm not clear on the illegal part.

I think poking around HN or just this thread alone would tell you that at least people here don't support that.
I would recommend at least on the legal side of things looking into the Duty of Care history, it's not necessarily intuitive though I think it makes sense in the end. As another person said, oftentimes it comes down to intent (though negligence can play a role in the matter as I personally understand).
