Cool Screenshots

I am planning a membership web site that will educate web owners to look at their marketing efforts and web site design from their customer's perspective.

I want to use screen shots of existing random web sites to show examples of good and poor design, again from the customer's point of view. There will be no discussion of the web site's products or services. I would use these screen shots on my web site, in videos, blogs & podcast.

I see such screen shots in books all of the time.

Do I run into liability issues by doing this? If so, how might I go about doing this?

Thank you.

Default Re: Screenshots

Yes--you cannot use the sites images and reprints to market your own service and product. You technically would need permission.
