This sums it up nicely. Basically, if it's fair use, there's no requirement to credit at all. It's still good to credit the original creator to cover yourself and because, as puggsoy said, there's no reason not to. And while there's certainly no requirement to credit anyone here (given that we don't own the content), you're more than welcome to credit the ripper and link back if you want but in that case, it would be your choice - there's nothing you need to protect yourself from, so to speak, with us.
