In this situation, the legal principle related to ignorance is relevant because Madison genuinely did not know that the photos she copied were under copyright. Therefore, she may be able to plead ignorance as a defense. However, it is important to note that ignorance of the law is not always a valid defense, but in this case, it may be applicable.
