Simple posession is more about physical necessities. Commissioning or buying artwork from someone is not just about posessing it, it comes with supporting someone financially. I could make icons or basic illustrations for some small project myself, but I would still commission them if I can afford it because that supports an artist who may want some work (as well as building up for more collaborations in future). Here, I would be supporting the opposite of those artists, a thing that was built on those artists’ work without their consent. Some middleman megacorp of the worst kind.

This goes way beyond my thought. I assume if we are talking about education it would be a given that running it generating images 24/7 non stop, shutting it down/killing it, etc., is already out of the question.
