Suppose a person wants to write a (commercial) book or training manual instructing others on how to use a third party's copyrighted computer software. May the person make use of "screen shots," produced through use of the software, as an instructional aid in such a book without infringing copyrights in the software? Would such use be fair use? I'd appreciate any comments, or cites to cases addressing this specific issue. Thanks so much, Larry. Received on Fri Mar 18 2005 - 22:40:00 GMT
