> Also, by "recovering" the image in this way, you strip it off IPTC copyright metadata which makes your copy illegal to use in the UK, for example.

Is that still true when there's no copyright on the image? How could that possibly be enforced? If it were read, stripped out, but then replaced (not altered) would that be okay?
