If you leave $1,000 cash on a table on your front porch and somebody steals it, it is partially your fault for affording the thief such an easy opportunity.
I don’t think so one bit. That’s just victim-blaming nonsense. It might not have been responsible, but fault is another story altogether. Moreover, putting creative arts out into the world to make a living is hardly equivalent to leaving money on your porch. If a person is savvy enough to use images in ways that violate copyrights, they should be savvy enough to know they’re breaking the law.
