Since when giving credits has anything to do with copyrights ? Giving credits is a question of politeness. It should not become a rule or an obligation. There is a big leap between not giving credits to every single piece in a picture and claiming it is your own. False claims should be countered of course, but please, leave the credits up to the author of a picture. If I use a hundred props in a scene, I am still the author of that scene, not the individual authors of each prop that contributed to it. And if I do not give credits to the person who modelled that chair and table in the back of the scene, it is unfortunate but it is in no way a violation of copyright.
