Right... And resizing a jpg to lower resolution isn't actually taking the original jpg, but a "sample" free of copyright.
When you also go so far to mirror the image, it is practically a new creation.
Applying some filter and changing the colors, maybe removing the background... well you can glue anything together in photoshop and is basically a remix.
That is something completely new, loosely based on something found somewhere online right?
But where exactly is the line in the sand? Reshape, resize, +1 on color map? When have I infringed on a copyright of a picture?
I would argue as soon as the diffusion model has comercial use, royalties are due for the original creators. In any case the data set has to be cited properly.
Otherwise it is piracy, which is very very cool, if you don't make money of it.
