> It’s almost always the case that infringement happens negligently (that is, because of the vagaries of the internet, the infringer doesn’t always realize they’re infringing someone else’s work).

They just don't want to give anyone else anything for using it, so they hope either it happens to have been released to public use or the creator can't be bothered to chase it up.
