Exactly. Companies like Getty, Disney and Shutterstock are never tired of collecting money and the easiest target for this is Stable Diffusion, which is already commercializing the model with DreamStudio which includes Getty's images without their permission.
O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com avoided this by partnering with shutterstock to get this permission first before training on their images for DALL-E 2. If O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com was able to do that, then SD has no reason other than taking images without attribution or credit and using them commercially. (Which they have been caught many times)
