I still dont think this has legs, precisely because of this case.

They accessed the material through piracy. They never accepted a TOS. They will probably get away with acquiring the material however they liked because of fair use.

The technicality is that they redistributed the material because of seeding, which is a no no.

That said, you might find inspiration in Midjourneys TOS. Anyone paying less than a Business plan agrees that anyone else on the platform can sample your output and your prompt.
