to replace with nothing though. I think it's worth it.
What about for instance book covers?
They are definitely not something you can usually have under a free licence. But
fair use probably applies (since the cover isn't the book itself).
Sure we could just not put'em. But sometimes they make the article on said book
nicer, and may illustrate, in case of comics, stuff like that, what it looks
like. Which is definitely something adding value to the article, imo.
Certainly. But my point is that Wikipedia isn't about adding value to articles
at any expense.
And I think the expense is too great here.
