Ask HN: Legality of Sharing Movie Screencaps?
I’m learning a web framework by making a tumblr-like website solely based around movie screencaps. I’m planning to open it to public but I don’t want to get sued. Any advice? I print "three-sided cards", usually on 4″×6″ paper. Some of these are photos I take, some are art public domain art, some come from anime imageboards. One thing I found was that a clean frame of 720p or better video makes a great print so I have a series of cards that come from movies and TV. I don't sell the cards so I think these fall under "fair use" https://tinytake.com/screen-capture-copyright-violation-or-f... However, this academic asked the studios for permission to reproduce a frame from a movie from a book and they were told "no" https://eve.gd/2015/05/12/another-copyright-absurdity-using-...
