and her images are freely available to view / download from her website.

At least under US law, the person downloading the images has to be the same one who trains the model, because giving them to another person is copyright-violating distribution.

To be clear, I'm just sick of corporations being free and clear to do things that would get the rest of us stomped.

The LAION dataset, which SD was trained on, is just a list of URLs and textual descriptions. There's no illegal copying going on when StabilityAI trained SD. It's also not illegal for you to do the same thing.
