This is not the case, at least here where I live. When I contributed to Wikipedia, we had a special page collecting copyright violations found by us. The "old media" section was terribly long, we actually had threads on our mailing list where people rejoiced that someone had printed the author and license information, as if it was strange and unexpected. Usually under stolen pictures they just wrote nothing, or "Source: Internet", which was even worse.

Printed media was also less willing to print an apology and/or attribution than websites, even when we specifically asked them to do so.
