Where all those stolen portfolios on Shutterstock come from...

Yes, of course it's the victim's fault - always! Just like the BBC are idiots for uploading their clips on YouTube, when they should of course realize that someone will just rip the footage and upload for sale. And when walking around at night you of course DESERVE to be robbed. Entirely your own fault. (for people unable to detect sarcasm - that was sarcasm).
To be brutally honest, that was, let's say, not a very wise comment. :)
Brasilnut:
We all have responsibilities...we need to take ownership for our actions, as do Unsplash idiots.
If one consumes fast-food everyday and develop health-problems, it's too easy to blame the fast-food restaurants when we have more than enough information out there to make educated decisions based on due diligence. Generally, we're living in a victim society where we constantly try to shift the blame to others.
Same with Unsplash contributors, but frankly don't think the vast majority of them care because they don't know...but if they did know I'm sure they would care. Unsplash contributors aren't completely to blame, of course the agencies should have more robust processes to avoid unauthorized licensing, which shouldn't be so challenging as noted by the OP.
Don't walk out at night alone in dangerous neighborhoods - simple. If one does, carry pepper-spray :)

The POINT being, if Shutterstock gave a * about this, all they would have to do is tell their system to reject anything with "unsplash" in the file title.

ooops.
That goes to me.
Apologies for my offtopics @Hannafate, deleted them.
