I can also see where you are coming from - an attempt to make ripping other people's vectorizations a guilt-free endeavor. Sorry, but your logic ain't cutting it. The art itself, both the original image and variations thereof (like a vector job) are copyright of the original artist, in this case Jin Kobayashi. Now the vectorized image, on which potentially many hours were spent working on is, as implied, 'my work'. I most certainly 'did do' the work that transformed the bitmap image into a vector one. This makes it my business to take credit for the vectorization job should I so desire, and likewise debunk someone else's false claim to it. It also makes it my business to decide whether I will hand out the vector file or not.
From legal angle we are in pretty gray area as we are using copyrighted work. But everything that moves through these boards is likewise burdened, including for example all the wallpapers that depict anime or manga characters. The special effects and backgrounds, if made by the artist, are theirs but the inclusion of a cutout from say an artbook breaches copyright. I can't claim to know if fair use clauses cover this, but I'm pretty confident they don't.
So yeah, from certain angle you are correct. Almost nothing on these boards belong to the persons that regardless add their nicks and URLs to the 'works'. But the work they did is definitely theirs. Don't try to bump off hours spent over Photoshop or Illustrator as something someone 'did not do' or 'did not happen'.
Now, shoo, I've more important things to do than lecture to an ass. For example, watching paint dry.
