So same rules apply. And rightfully so.
PS. Copyright infringement is not a criminal matter.  |
"Is that your horse" Was a simple yes or no question addressed to the rider of the animal. If no valid explanation was offered the thief was in deep shit.
"Is that your content" is a question a lot of webmasters and uploaders wouldn't want to answer if penalties were severe. In fact few would steal if the penalties incurred were the same as when the quote was coined.
Copyright infringement is a polite way of saying stolen property in almost all cases.
