Images in articles - copyright issue
-
What is the legal issue with images in articles? For example, can I put in an article image that is part of some company marketing material and publicly available, with a quotation of company material? Or some other image from some company website, with a quotation of Url? Or an image from some Pdf material, that is distributed publicly? Or how about a screenshot of some application forms, with the quotation of the company and product name? Or a screenshot of some hardware?

We have a note about image re-use here in our Plagiarism FAQ: CodeProject Plagiarism FAQ[^] But I'm happy to answer more specific scenarios if you have them still.

I looked at https://sarafhawkins.com/copyright-fair-use-and-online-images/, and it looks like as long as I am writing a tutorial or research, I can use images from 3rd party sites.... It says: #2: Why are you using the image? If it is “…for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research…” you’re on the right track. Am I right? :-)

Only a judge can really make a definitive ruling on fair use. Speaking to the law, I'm afraid, is out of my jurisdiction. Here's how reusing images goes: No one notices. It's poorly policed. Possibly a DMCA request if someone did. Haven't seen one ever. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't do our best. As a site of authors, we don't want to be willy nilly taking and reusing work from another author or company. Since I can't give you blanket permission, can you just tell me what image you want to use?

I understand it will be based on a particular case, the decision needs to be made regarding approval from the case to the case... For example, screenshots of different mapping applications/products, as a part of the tutorial what the current technology approach looks like.
