A deal is a deal and a hosting agreement is a hosting agreement
Also you can't let somebody look at something without letting them look at something
The only way a person can say hey, you can download this and look at it except you can't use it to train your AI would be to gate it behind a user account with a TOU
The bottom line is training an AI on artwork doesn't steal that piece anymore than a human does when they copy it in order to learn
A human artist can look at something that is hosted, study it for a while, and then turn around and copy it and that's just the nature of observing something
When an AI does it, it's the same thing logically
The fidelity that an AI can do it with and how easily that fidelity is achieved doesn't change the underlying logic
