Most on the internet too. Every image meme and reuploads of other images are basically also copyright violations.

This doesn't mean a company Tumblr's size can ignore it. Reddit, Google, Facebook, et al all need to consider these things as they operate.

I'm not saying they can't skirt the laws a little bit and get away with it, all I'm saying is they need to have awareness.

Nah, they just need to be vigilant about DMCA requests.

Due to the Safe Harbor rules in US copyright laws they don't really need to remove copyrighted content proactively. There's tons of subreddits exclusively dedicated to piracy that they don't care about.

Everything you say, and everything you think, is a copyright infringement. Pay up!
