<div>I don't believe it either, but I will need an authoritative statement (i.e., a law, not an interpretation) to support my claim.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For future reference, the SCMS statement seems to be here:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="http://www.cmstudies.org/?page=positions_policies" target="_blank">http://www.cmstudies.org/?page=positions_policies</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, the policies only seem to apply to publications in the U.S., and I'm trying to figure out the law in Japan.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Mark</div>

SCMS has a statement on their webpage. David Bordwell and Kristen Thompson have great posts on this on their blog.

<div>I don't believe this. As far as I have heard and understand, a frame grab is treated like the quotation of a sentence from a larger written text. </div>

<div></div>
<div>Dear Colleagues,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This has doubtless come up before but I'm not finding it in my archive of KineJapan.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Question: what is the law on fair use of film stills in academic publications in Japan? I.e., non-profit, for academic use only.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am now hearing that in lieu of written permission from a rights-holder, the only form of publication that is considered acceptable is a thumbnail image, approximately 1/3 of the printed column width. Does this sound correct?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would anybody by chance have a reference to the law on this?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
