I have tried to get in touch with the game company but have never had a reply.<br />What's the point of Fair use if the Universities won't even use it. I am probably going to have to drop them.Colorado Conkey'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793845891042118619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2818789578645818601.post-66820951090304970922009-01-01T09:06:00.000-08:002009-01-01T09:06:00.000-08:00I usually publish assuming fair use, making sure t...I usually publish assuming fair use, making sure the developer is credited under every screenshot.<BR/><BR/>There actually is a US court decision that screenshots are fair use, so I wouldn't worry.<BR/><BR/>http://lifehacker.com/software/ask-the-law-geek/ask-the-law-geek-is-publishing-screenshots-fair-use-193343.phpJesper Juulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707168106872886032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2818789578645818601.post-68066513624970591622008-12-30T19:51:00.000-08:002008-12-30T19:51:00.000-08:00I'm also trying to use screenshots from Monkey Isl...I'm also trying to use screenshots from Monkey Island for a book, and it's going sloooow. So far they've been quite nice, even if they take ages to respond; I just hope they get back to me before the book goes to press. <BR/>The problem is that in the case of conferences and journals, the game publishers are simply too slow to grant permission to use their images.
