All episode screenshots are non-replaceable too. All album covers
are not replaceable too. All book covers are not replaceable too
(well, except the old ones).

If that's an argument to retain fair use images, then we need to
liberalize fair use across the entire project. The criteria isn't just
whether something is replaceable or not. If that was the sole
criteria, we'd have millions upon millions of fair use images.
