Brands think they are immune to copyright law if they are just posting on social media, but obviously that's not true.

The “fair use” argument doesnt hold water in most cases, especially when it comes to marketing. If you're using someone else's work to promote your brand, you're in a legal grey area at best, and straight-up infringing at worst.
