I don’t see how I violate copyright law in my daily life. It’s not like I acidentally pirate movies.

Pirating movies is not the only way to violate copyright law.

Taking photos of things without the correct permissions (freedom of panorama) sharing copyright protected things on social media

I don't know anyone who doesn't violate some aspect of the law.

Has anyone ever been successfully sued or fined over an IP-protected object in a shot where that object wasn't the focus?

So first off, your question is irrelevant to my original question. I asked specifically if something is never enforced why should it be a law. None of the replies to my question has even addressed that :(

Secondly, that is not what freedom of panorama means, it means you are allowed to take pictures of anything in the public space. See: https://expertphotography.com/freedom-of-panorama-photograph...

Thirdly, wikipedia has examples of litigations.

Fourthly, IP is not copyright. If you took a selfie with some top secret tech you signed an NDA not to reveal was in there you will probably get in big trouble

\/ yes probably

>> "None of the replies to my question has even addressed that"

That's always a good sign the question wasn't clear.
