People who do the work should be compensated when their work is used to generate income for someone else. This is the way it's worked for as long as I can remember: I get paid to do some work, the company then gets my output. What we have here is someone hoovering up copyrighted and protected content, from all over the internet, and using it to generate income. They then are turning around and claiming that they do not need to pay for these protected works because... Well, it's always something hand-wavy like "machine learn like people" but it boils down to "I want to keep the money."
