Especially this. Not just wrong with attribution but sadly in some fields completely wrong about authenticity.
Heck, I've had cases of it myself, changing my opinion on some attribution elements on my own site, but sometimes images and old descriptions linger on in other folks' blogs and forum posts.
It's a general danger with online media.
