I disagree. I think the priority is to have the full

That seems to be a demand to have the highest resolution copies possible.>>

I was assuming what this meant was, If we find this image on website x and it's a reproduction of a public domain picture/painting, then we could simply copy it.

The request (or demand) if you will, is internal, not against the producer of the image. That is, you don't need to *demand* the site owner do anything, you can simply copy the image, without even informing them.
