The biggest thing that we as artists fear is the fact that people WON'T take the time to find the owner. The scenarios you gave were great examples, but they are still a violation of someone's copyright. They would be damaged under this proposition. You might not have stuck the metaphorical knife into them (they're probably dead), so you kill the whole family!! This whole proposition doesn't make any since to me. "If it ain't broke don't fix it!"
