Illegal use of OSM data and violating terms of use of service is a clear wrong doing.

I am not a lawyer, but showing message informing about violating license and 
terms of use of service seems 100% OK in case of website actually violating
OSM license.
And I fully support websites doing this.

Is there anything that would actually make it illegal, unethical or wrong in any way?
If yes I would be happy to learn about it.

It is not like they were serving tile images with lies or untrue claims. Or actually defacing
website by serving tile images with shock content like gore, nudity or extreme statements.
And I would not support doing this.
