The Japanese law requests to clearly indicate the source of the quoted material, even for "fair use". The screenshot did not. What is worth, the screenshot reproduced "an entire page" of the original book even though it was less than 300 words. (Remember, it was an elementary textbook.) I am not sure whether reproducing an entire page is considered "fair use" under Japanese laws. > So if somebody tried > to sue you, it would be a long and difficult problem. I believe (or I hope) nobody will sue me, but anyway, having a screenshot of classical literature or a lofty statement is much more interesting than having a screenshot of "Hello! How are you?", isn't it? -- TAKAHASHI Naoto [email protected] http://www.m17n.org/ntakahas/
