So the issue being, in general to be influenced by someone else's work you would have typically supported that work... like... literally at all. Purchasing, or even simply discussing and sharing with others who may purchase said material are both worth a lot more than not at all, and directly competing without giving source material, influences, or etc.
If it is on the open internet and visible to anyone with a web browser and you have an adblocker like most people, you are not paying to support that work. That's what it was trained on.
Hence why I gave more than the simple purchase, but sure.
