I can see what you're saying...it seems very logical.. It just appears to me that there is a whole raft of illustrators out there who seem to use treated 'found imagery' with little fear.
I could be wrong and perhaps they do get permission. Looking at the Andy Potts site he says he treats 'found imagery'... Could someone really have the time or will to chase after every photo they find in a travel brochure or something...
I'm just wondering if with work like this, generally people just go for it without worrying.. http://www.xtrapop.com is another with possibly the same kind of issues..
And then what if you trace around an image in say Illustrator - is it now yours?
