There'll be another p0rn run tomorrow, I promise 
As for the snurching thing... here I go with my opinionate self...
[rant] Pics with ownership tags (eg pics that are actually owned by the person posting, such as con pics like mine or Nee's, and are marked as such) should be credited, every single time.
Privately owned pics with a request not to snurch are not snurchable (well, they are, and anybody telling me I can't copy it to my hard drive can go &/ç%"* themselves, they shouldn't post it if they don't want it snurched... but I won't repost a privately owned pic if requested not to do so).
As for freely available pics such as promo shots or unmarked stills, you can find them in so many places that ownership becomes questionable, and if the pic isn't clearly copyrighted then nobody has the right to claim ownership - for example, I don't claim ownership of my caps, ever. I spend hours and hours getting them, but I didn't film the thing so I have zero right to claim it as mine.
Same goes for manips - you can claim the artistic aspect as yours, but not the pic.
Stills with a watermark should theoretically have the watermark included when reposting, but unless MGM is going to get sniffy about it, I wouldn't worry.
Generally though, ownership of images is a very touchy thing in copyright law and people need to be very careful about what they claim ownership of (eg, if I took the GW Ronon header and added a few lighting effects then claimed it as my own, as I have seen done in this thread, I would be infringing on MGM's copyrights of the original images and seriously stepping on the toes of the graphic artist who created the GW header... not a nice thing by any stretch of the imagination. Just because you manip someone else's manip does not mean you are in any position to claim ownership, except to say that you had manipped somebody else's manip.
