A work-around like siphoning OL cover images, and offering an
alternative service? with the associated legal risks, but who knows exactly?

OCLC seems to use their own covert art service. For example:

Anybody knows if it is available from the outside, and at which
conditions? I doubt it would be any better than Amazon/Google Book
license agreement.
