RE: Using Photos Found On The Internet.
Likewise if the source posting a photo on the internet does not supply a photographers name, then they can not complain about the fact that the photographer credits were not supplied when the photo is used elsewhere.
Whoever wrote that should think things through a little more.
For example, and among other issues, how would one even know if the person posting the image is the 'source' and not just someone who used (e.g., swiped it from somewhere else online) the pic without crediting the image?
I am all for Fair Use (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use)
Fair play, I much more prefer FP rather than a "F U".
Fair play would be for the person making the claim to ownership to front up proof of ownership and proof that the source has all the required credits and or rights.
Only after that can they expect fair play.
Flanking someone with accusations and not supplying any reliable proof what so ever is literrally FUing the entire idea of the link you are refering to.
It works both ways, it is a two way street.
Likewise: If a photographers name was not listed as per the laws regulating this topic, then the person making a claim does not have a (legal) leg to stand on.
