Hash search? (Score:1)
Surely Flickr or Google or someone has an index of their images by checksum? You could upload the image, they could compute a hash (MD5, SHA, etc) and look in their index to see if they have a byte-identical image on record. Odds are that the unattributed image has not been altered.
I googled for "image match" and found this service: TinEye [tineye.com]. It succeeded on a couple of Flickr images I tried, but failed on a few more obscure ones.
