Ken,

A novel thought:
You could provide links to peoples websites on the condition that they
do not change it within a year and impose a penalty if they change it
within that year or change after a year and not inform you. A penalty
for changing URL within a year or without your knowledge (leading to
broken links) *could* be they must produce an image of the topic 'Ken is
Great' - This would surely be a deterrent to provide quick fix URL's :)
