Also, I don't see how your last suggestion would work as everyone posts signatures and artworks with resources they didn't create themselves, even FGunZ uses such resources but as you can see and many other games (pserver one), there are no licenses or taxes being paid for that, after all, it's the internet and everyone does whatever he wants, what we could do though is control it at least here.
