I agree that it might not be a good idea to use live data for training, and
certainly not if the people you are training would not otherwise have access
to that data.
However, I don't think it's necessarily a contravention of Principle 2. It
says that any further use must be 'compatible' with the original purpose.
If the legislators had wanted to say 'must only be used for the original
purpose' they could have said so. Therefore, one must assume that being
'compatible' is something different from being 'the same as'. I think you
could make a case that on-the-job training in how to use a system is
'compatible' with the underlying use, whereas downloading live data to your
training suite and using it with all-comers would certainly not be
compatible (and wrong for all sorts of reasons).
But I expect there are members of the group who take a much more hard-line
view.
