I respect if the content owner does the work and makes copies of pictures or documents that are in his/her private collection. I am guilty of that myself on my site - I feel that while it is true that the source documents are public domain, I spent my money to acquire them so I am entitled to protect them to some extent.

OTOH downloading an image from the LOC cost absolutely nothing to Shorpy, yet they act as if they own it. I will grant that they provide an easier way to search for pictures than the LOC, but I just go to the source :)

As an example here is the LOC version of the H&M car

01350u

A little cropping, sharpening and a clone stamp or two in photoshop and you get to Shorpy's version
