1) Ignorance of the copyright laws.
2) Copyright "Urban myths" (I can use X amount of a work w/o permission, If I don't charge for it it's ok, etc)
3) The belief that the internet is anonymous so I won't get caught
4) I gave the original author credit so I can do it
5) If there's no copyright notice it's free for me to use.
