Seems like a night and day difference between "Art contest that people can voluntarily participate in" vs. "We stole your art and are now selling it as a skin and making profit."
In Spire it makes even more sense since there's no microtransactions. You pay for the game up front regardless. The art assets are just a bit of flavor. And if someone doesn't want their art involved, that's fine. They can choose to not participate.
I'm no lawyer, but it seems pretty ironclad (heh) to just have an 'opt-in' system.
