I'm all in favor of putting them on a separate server with a separate database and *not* embedding those images inline into articles, but allowing explicitly external links to those images which users would have to follow knowingly.
nonfree.wikipedia.org, anyone?
That's certainly an option to which I wouldn't object if it came to that. I still think it's a bit paranoid, but at least it would retain our ability to collect and describe useful information even if it did hamper its display a bit.
