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

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.

Subject: Question on Fair Use of Film Stills

Dear Colleagues,

This has doubtless come up before but I'm not finding it in my archive of KineJapan.

Question: what is the law on fair use of film stills in academic publications in Japan? I.e., non-profit, for academic use only.

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?

Would anybody by chance have a reference to the law on this?

Thanks in advance,
