I think using the term backdoor is completely wrong in this case.
You're not at risk for using LLM other than the content producer being able to tell that the LLM trained on their data; maybe, potentially... It's a stretch even.
Your queries are not being relayed to them, they don't have a backdoor into the LLM content, algos or queries. They merely have a tainted marker, potentially showing, in the output.
LLM providers can always make the claim that they didn't get the tainted data from the source, but got it from another source and that's the ones you should go after; good luck proving the misdirection. I bet it's probably even hard for them to know exactly where this exact output came from, since it's probably been re-ingurgitated 250,000 times.
