Pardon, but when you say "does not have any copyright on them" do you mean that there is no copyright notice on them, or that you know that they are in the public domain (i.e., something published before 1929, a publication of the U.S. federal government, etc.)? If the latter, you needn't worry about fair use. Unfortunately the former (lack of notice) is irrelevant to the presence or absence of current copyright. DLB
Hi everyone,
Quick question regarding fair use of images in publications: If a YouTube video does not have any copyright on them, would a screen shot of that video fall under fair use for scholarly publications?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Best, Shira
