If they significantly undercut the competition by using some trick I would agree they are, though it’s a grey area mostly (what if instead of a time machine they just have a bunch of inherited money that allows them to work without worrying about making a living? Can’t people release their work for free?).
I think we can just judge by the consequences (here “consequences” don’t have to refer to utility calculus). If some way of “injecting” art into culture is too disruptive, we can decide to not allow it. Doesn’t matter who or how makes the injection.
