Of course it is! It being illegal doesn't mean Instagram is incentivized to crack down on it

And if you're a tiny independent artist you also aren't well-resourced to do anything about it.

(Afaict the best thing we can do is maintain a culture that demands attribution)

I represent tiny independent artists and the best thing you can do is hope that some moneyed media company infringes your work. They never have an excuse and they always pay up.

But that's not what happens on Instagram

This isn't like some TV ad using a song they forgot to license
