Seems like Instagram should be on the hook here. They have a legal team, they have a license for the content, and they provide site owners with an easy way to embed content, but they don't provide the proper licensing for actually using it? Seems like some sort of entrapment - although I'm probably using that word incorrectly in the legal sense.
Suppose I put a bowl of cookies on my lawn with a "free cookie" sign. Then I sue anyone who takes a cookie - not for taking the cookie, but for stepping on my lawn. I don't think a court would be willing to accept my stance that I didn't provide a license to enter my property.
