Not knowing something is a crime doesn't stop you from being prosecuted for committing it.

It doesn't matter if someone else is sharing copyright works and you don't know it and use it in ways that infringes on that copyright.

"I didn't know that was copyrighted" is not a valid defence.

Is reading a passage from a book actually a crime though?

Sure, you could try to regenerate the full text from quotes you read online, much like you could open a lot of video reviews and recreate larger portions of the original text, but you would not blame the video editing program for that, you would blame the one who did it and decided to post it online.
