Is that illegal?

It’s shitty, for sure, but cops don’t usually arrest people for just being shitty.

    Per the comments on the article:

    • The DragonCon policy explicitly states AI art cannot be sold and that violating that part of their policy is grounds for immediate dismissal
    • The artist refused to leave
    • The cops were called to get them to leave
