Fair Use

[J.sharp]

Alex,

>From my understanding DVD/video coves, posters, admats and even front of
house stills are basically designed to be reproduced in the first place - i
think the point is they must be reduced quality, and therefore not the main
selling point of the publication.

> I think the answer depends on where are you using them.In the US (outside
of festivals and schools), posters and dvd sleeves are fair use if they are
reduced quality, screenshots are also fine (you can use up to 30 seconds of
footage, i believe). My books from film school are filled with scans of
these things and I know for certain that they didn&#39;t pay for their use.

use, my understanding is that screenshots taken off of DVDs are usually ok
if they are used to illustrate a certain point. But what is the situation
with posters, video jacket covers etc.? Can these legitimately be scanned
and used in an academic publication? And maybe more importantly, would
Japanese film companies accept the fair use argument (I have seen very
little of more recent material in publications- is this an issue)?
