I've also come across information saying that if you can't find the original copyright holder, you can use orphan works rules stating that you don't have copyright and the original holder is unknown, and be prepared to remove (say from a website, the image identified as an orphan work), if the copyright holder comes forward. Then there is another piece which says that if you can't find the copyright holder, you must assume permission isn't granted. So there you go, what could be more straight forward.
