I'd say to put that in the category of "ok for now, but things might  
change".  I think in the long run we should aim to not use the  
wayback machine at all -- things stored in the wayback machine that  
we have permission to use (explicit or implicit via CC) should  
eventually be stored in our own upcoming cover art repository.
