Contrariwise, Wikipedia includes book and DVD covers and movie posters, 
with a pretty verbose explanation of why they think they're allowed to 
do so (see for example 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:StarWarsMoviePoster1977.jpg>).

I guess they just define their use as allowed and wait for someone to 
challenge them on it?
