I view the Internet as a giant "Copyleft" situation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft) with regards to copyright licensing and referencing of images.

Basically any image uploaded onto the freely accessible internet becomes part of a global 'creative commons'.

"While copyright law protects the rights of the creator by providing control of distribution and modification, the idea of copyleft is to grant subjective libre freedom to end users."
