> But it seems to me the copyright owners have some responsibility to prevent or block use of their images.

They have no more obligation towards prevention than does the author of a book. The burden is on the person who appropriates the IP for their own use.

The only guidance we can provide is to advise that you are responsible to ensure that you are not violating someone else's copyright. That's as true for images as it is for text posted in messages.
