I don't know about the states, but here in Canada the government takes the position "ignorance of the law is not a defence".

You're not being ignorant of the law - you're being ignorant of the weird computer square printed on the shirt you thrifted

Claiming you didn't know it could cause harm isn't a defense in court in Canada.

Anymore bullshit?

“Malice” implies intent. Accidents are not malicious. Neglect in the worst case. So certainly any charges could not be based on malice.
