I can't honestly imagine them putting their album

CC-BY-SA, but if we could get one of the most notorious anti-sharing
industries out there to do it, I'm all for it. How would you propose
to approach them about it? I think we might even have better luck
approaching individual bands who own album covers (though this would
be better if we did not allow the nonfree versions, the number of free
images of living people skyrocketed once we started disallowing
nonfree ones).
Yep. That's why I suspect that starting with requesting good promo
pictures under a free licence is likely to meet with more immediate
success.
(I'm currently putting placeholder images on every living bio I can
find without an image. One side effect I'd quite like this to have is
to make our jargon meaning of "free" more normative.)
