Contra @nathanaclark.bsky.social, David Raya has not performed better against psxg since leaving Brentford and there's been nothing special about Arsenal or Brentford's over/underperformance on long distance shots. Just one big outlier: Tottenham goals allowed this year huge fluke.

That's not what section 1 of the law says. It explicitly says that it covers a situation where an original image was consensually obtained and then altered. Poor drafting but I don't think you're right reading the law in total. I'd certainly take the case on and find out.
