It seems like this article makes a basic copyright mistake. I don't see any evidence that these are " reproductions" of source material like since no source image is linked to compare. Instead, these are derivative works. We

While the name was not coined as a form of greenwashing, the industry has a long history of greenwashing and outright lies. It is naive to think this industry hasn't considered what label to use for this product and how that affects pu
