I guess it's the same sort of argument with 'samples' on records.
I guess in most cases you can go ahead and use it without permission, however, the minute someone sees that you are making money from it, the 'owners' of the original artwork want their share.
That whole question of how much the work has been altered is a huge grey area. And I guess if you don't wish to be fined then you have a responsability to either credit the original artist, or stop being lazy and tight and go find some original images or buy some.
Good point stewardez, family photo albums are a great archive.
