"illicitly" implies a law that is being violated. What law?

It could also mean a TOS violation / breach of contract.

(To be clear, I find the complaint hilariously hypocritical.)

Illicit isn’t just a synonym for illegal.

It can mean “forbidden by laws, rules, or established moral customs”

So it can be illicit and legal.
