Yeah but now you're getting really subtle. Crediting a restoration is
a less obvious thing to do, and probably less serious if they don't.
Speaking for myself, I often disregard copyright notices when the
source material is clearly very old - I assume the copyright notices
have been plastered all over without thought. But maybe I'm missing
transformation processes...

Btw, found an even better reuse of one of my images:
http://article.wn.com/view/2007/11/30/A_man_says_he_was_robbed_of_700_during_a_cocaine_deal_before/

Kind of amusing. The text even refers to a "pickup" truck, not a cement mixer...
