They still have copyright, as such it can still be pulled regardless if they were to find out. If someone has a copyrighted image and someone posts it for 'free' it can still be pulled because of copyright laws. Square Enix is quite a large company and unlike someone like me, who is a mere photographer-peon, has a lot more clout. If it doesn't follow their TOS it'll be pulled.
Yes, but if you edit the picture first, and paint a horse on it, then it's considered your own creative work, and you can claim fair use as long as you're not benefiting financially from someone elses intellectual property. That's how video clips from TV shows can stay on youtube if they just flip the video. And also why AMV's are allowed to stay up there.
