This is like comparing apples with bananas.
In one case Ayu and her team took the work another graphic designer made and used it as their own. So Ayu's team gets paid for the work another graphic designer made and Ayu gets lots of money from merchandise.
In the other case people download videos/songs just to watch/listen to them. No one here would claim having composed or sung those songs and sell them as their own to make money out of it.
Stealing intellectual property and downloading piracy are two completely different issues.
