: : Anybody know what is the position concerning the use of "screen grabs" and other pictures of computer programs in operation, for the purposes of inclusion in a training manual??? : : Do I need to consent of the Software Owner or will the making of such pictures be considered (a) uncopyrightable due to lack of originality or (b) fair use : : Comments would be most welcome : Dear Mr. Madden, : Without taking professsional responsibility for this answer. it is my understanding that what is created is registerable and what is copied is an infringement. I believe that downloading on a VCR is an infringement. Try to sell or show what you have downloaded, is a risk. : M.
