Now you can use stolen data to steal even more from creatives.
To be fair, when it comes to stock photos the creatives already got paid. You're just violating the copyright of a big corporation at that point (if you distribute the images... If you never distribute the images then you've committed no crime).
No. As someone who has uploaded my own images in hopes to sell them from a stock website. You do not get paid until someone purchases your pictures to use.
Depends on how you sell them, but yes. Don't assume that you aren't hurting an individual when you steal IP.
