I think this very example proves that the adage is wrong, or at least doesn't capture many things for the full picture.

Well, it isn't a case of piracy, is it? The data exists on the website, for free, under the assumption/social contract that you are a human, not an agent of a shady enterprise wasting the bandwidth. An analogy would be the game itself being put out for free on itch.io, but then downloaded and unpacked to make an asset flip.
