Yes. You create the derivative work, which automatically means you are legally in possession of it--even if it breaks the law in other respects.

How are they obtaining it? From websites where albums are advertised? The images on those websites are available to the public for free, even if the albums or the album covers are only available for sale.
Also, Wikipedia articles are contributed to by individual people, who might well own copies of books that they quote from in the articles, for example, even if the corporation that owns Wikipedia does not. AFAIK, by Wikipedia's terms of use, if you post content you are implicitly asserting that you have a legal right to post it, so if there were a lawsuit they would probably punt to whoever posted the content.
