I'm not advocating changing it. I'm advocating understanding it.
It does not prevent the use of "Fair Use" photographs.
The enwiki EDP is much stricter than the copyright law definition of
Fair Use. Have you read [[Wikipedia:Non-free_content]]?
For example: "Here are other images that if non-free would almost
certainly not satisfy the policy: A magazine cover, to illustrate the
article on the person whose photograph is on the cover."
This comletely contradicts your book cover example. (The "almost
certainly" refers to exceptions such as the Demi Moore article; see the
policy page.)
