Can we legally use book jackets?

There has been a lot of discussion around the use of book jackets in library OPACs lately.  We heard this back when Amazon let us access their covers - and then again when the Google Books API came out - and now it's because of the newest announcement from LibraryThing about sharing their covers.

I've heard both sides of this argument - that it's legal and that it's not.  Well, Mary at the LibraryLaw blog has a great post helping us all out with this issue.
