Subject: [SEELANGS] copyright question - images from films

Dear SEELANGS folks,

I need some information regarding copyright rules.  I want to use some  
screen captures from several animated films in an article.  What are  
the rules?  Are there limits on the number of screen captures per  
film?  Does it matter where I got the images?  For example, if I got  
the image off of www.animator.ru, can I use it?  What about films that  
are on YouTube?  Do the rules that apply to films in general apply  
here as well?  Or is a film on YouTube available for further  
reproduction?  I'm not using more than a couple of images per film and  
the items are all cartoons or claymation films, most under 15 min. long.

Thanks in advance for your guidance.
