If it's about fans already active in PR and so on,
they probably have a
website? Just make them stick a CC-BY/CC-BY-SA tag on their website with the
photos or whatever.
Many agencies and various entities use flickr, which we can import from.
If they have to digitize stuff or whatever, things get harder.
That word "just" ... you're trivialising that doing a simple thing has
actually caused problems in the past. It would not have solved the
PETA or Cafe Magazine examples, for example.
