This is not the case on en.
I should have said, the current attitude of a significant number of active admins is that we accept nothing but free images. See for example some of the arguments at [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Fair_use]]. See also [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Chowbok]], and especially the outside view by Jimbo Wales. (Most of these arguments are nominally about fair-use images, but they're being interpreted to apply to other kinds of nonfree content, such as promotional photos.)
I'm sure magazine covers and DVD packages will be next.
We've been through magazine covers once already.
And I'm guessing that we'll be going through them again soon. (We didn't get the You-know-who Association of America article deleted on the first try, either. :-) )
