Well, you can't just grab images off of Google and think its ok to use them without doing proper research.

I have had images I have made be used on other websites and in one case they even claimed to own the copyright. I just accept that the internet is a space for sharing and that trying to control 'copyright' in such a place is a fool's errand.
How would the proper research have led them to you as author? I have no idea.
Several major crypto news websites have used my images with credit. They always link the source at the bottom or top of the article. This is standard procedure on Steemit and just about any other publication.
once an image is used by a third party without creditation it can be very challenging to find the original author - even when there is creditation, how can it be known if the creditation is correct?
That's a good point. I should have put my name on it, but I didn't want to spoil the image so I left it out.
