Until now the situation has been rather different: people got
annoyed because other people's art was posted without initials.
So I think there's another solution:

3/ do not care

Most people like to share their pictures and not everyone cares
about signing every picture or about getting credit. I wonder
if those liked you as their speaker. I actually digged out some
names for drawings I got from Miss Kitty's posts. When I emailed
those artists (just to make sure that I was adding the right names)
they were surprised and happy that their pics are still alive
and kicking. Noone was worried about the fact that credits 
were stripped off. I think there's no good in complaining unless
you really know that the artist would.

Indeed. That's the way those pictures got back here. You cannot
protect drawings. Someone somewhere will remove the credits. I
don't think it's fair to dump the pictures too just because the
initials fell off.
