I've run into one or two people on OTRS that were reusing the materials in good faith, but that got a letter from such a photographer that wanted to see money (and that is just spillover from Germany to the Netherlands). Examples linked in the discussion include this warning and bill http://www.gulli.com/news/19712-abmahnung-wegen-bild-aus-der-wikipedia-2013-01-12 of hundreds of euros for a foundation that did not specify the author name or this website that was asked https://historischdenken.hypotheses.org/3677 to pay over a thousand euro. The discussion on the German WIkipedia may contain more links, and the linked blogs are insightful on how this behaviour is being perceived. Just google for "abmahnung bild wikipedia" to find more examples and stories.
Hope that clarifies. German Wikipedians may have better examples.

This thread is notably long on hypothetical and meta-level discussions and very short on concrete examples of the supposedly problematic uploads under discussion. What are the generally accepted examples of what we're actually talking about here?
