<div dir="ltr">Dear Nina,<div><br></div><div>If it is a published still, the following will be little to no help, I suspect. If it is a screen capture, then it may be, although you may already be aware of it, in that case.</div><div><br></div><div>I wished to include a couple of screen captures for a recent article and the journal, as we might expect, asked whether I had permission. I referred them to the <a href="https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.cmstudies.org/resource/resmgr/docs/fairusefilmstills.pdf">Society for Cinema and Media Studies guide from 1992</a> (which, as the colleague in film studies who alerted me to this document noted, has not been updated since then as there's not been a single case of litigation over film stills since this guide was issued) and said that I was following this reasoning. Therefore, I did not have formal permission (because I thought my use fell under the "fair use" guidelines outlined in the guide). I said that if the journal was comfortable with accepting the rationale I shared with them, great, and if not, I would withdraw the images. They decided to accept the rationale and published the article with the images.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Erik</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Jul 2, 2022 at 11:23 AM Nina Cornyetz via KineJapan <<a href="mailto:kinejapan@mailman.yale.edu" target="_blank">kinejapan@mailman.yale.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Good morning,<div>I'm looking for where to turn to get permission to use a film still for an article in a volume about Japanese arts; Also, where to turn for photos of writers and staged dramas? </div><div>thanks for any help on this.
