Losing CD and book covers is a big price to pay. We could certainly
tighten up our fair use rules even more, defining the exact
circumstances you can use a nonfree image:

* One CD cover for the article on the CD.
* One book cover for the article on the book.
* One image of a piece of artwork in the article on that artwork,
and/or the creator of it, as long as there is text discussing it.
etc.
