yes and no. i think you can more easily get away with it, yet they can still have you take it down. its usually not worth the risk, but it still depends on who they are. bmw, porche, disney, etc, might have you take it down, if they knew about it or cared. but a lot of these companies don't exist today, however the photography in them may still be copyrighted despite the age. as long as they renewed it at the right time. its best to do research on each one to see what is what.
