If there is no copyright, and they are created from stolen works (because let's be honest, they are) what's to protect?

That seems like the sustainable solution.

Nothing much you can do about "borrowed" works short of public shaming in the town square. Firefly trains on Getty stock images (right) and one other stock library. Probably the way to go.
