The company pulled down his work, fed it to their AI, then sold the AI as their product.

If you read the article, not even that is what's going on here. Stability AI:

• They aren't selling their LoRA as a product either.

So none of what you're objecting to is actually happening. All cool? Or will you just come up with some other thing to object to?
