You're not innocent if you're using content you didn't create, or didn't pay for, or weren't otherwise authorized to use.
oh and if you want a really recent example

http://gigaom.com/2011/12/12/universal-vs-megaupload/

not one second of universals copyrighted material existed in that song

yet they still used the youtube takedown process to get rid of the content

when asked to justify it they said that it was consent to appear issue (which is not a copyright issue and therefore outside of the scope)

They fucking admitted it wasn't a DMCA takedown.
