> What's explicitly illegal about this?

The fact that the work is copyrighted, rights withheld in the absence of a license and limited with one. Also, you should know that willful infringement can carry 5x the statutory damages compared to accidental, and spurious claims of fair use would be distinctly unhelpful to your case. Just by posting that comment, you have probably compromised your position in any future copyright case you might be involved in, or you might even have invited one. I really recommend being more careful when anything legal is involved.
