Wordpress guys, I have a quick question

Long time no talk

Anyway, I have a question about Wordpress for those of you using it --

If I have a Multisite installation and I wanted to create a single 'library' (Media) of images on an unrelated URL, but then allow the multisites to 'import' those images from the main 'library' to the individual sites, is there an existing plug in that does that, and where would I find it?

Let me give an example in case I am not doing a good job explaining...

I have multiple small businesses who each have a site (Multisite install) and they want to use some graphics I own to make posts. I have stored these graphics in a big library on a domain (library.com) and I wish to allow the small businesses to go through my library, select the graphics they want to use and import them to their own Media for use in their blog posts. I do not want them to link to my library, but to put a copy of the image in their own library.

This needs to be administered really simply, since these business owners are not very good at Wordpress or even cut and paste, unfortunately. If they can 'select' an image in my library and automatically find it's been transferred to their library, that would be perfect.

Since my library is large (thousands of images), I do not wish to replicate it on each of the multisite Media installs, that would not make sense.

Hopefully someone here knows how or has written something like that?
