Have a look at this repo for yourself if you don't believe me. The image demonstrates the tool being used for copyright violations. It's billing itself that way, no?
Edit: Removed an irrelevant addendum.
If the image weren't a suitable representation, then the author wouldn't have chosen it. You're trying to downplay that these sorts of decisions are intentional.
Gun ownership is not a crime. But the gun is shown in a scenario where a crime is about to be committed.
At first I didn't have any issue but this analogy seems to have convinced me it's a bad image to use.
But I'm sure the maintainer will be happy to modify the picture with a search for "big buck bunny" if you ask nicely.
