While I like that we're debating ways to encourage more copyright-compliant uploads, I'm not sure about this particular idea. Right now, when I happen across an article with a red link for an image, I know to remove it and/or look for a substitute. Do we want to make people wonder whether they should wait around in case there's an upload forthcoming?
FWIW, what I tend to do is use the "preview" button to show the redlink, and click that. Not so much for images, though. Also, if by chance I make a redlink by accident, I tend to fix it with a redirect rather than changing the source.
