SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT AMERICA v. BLEEM, F.3d (9th Cir. 2000). "We must decide whether the unauthorized use of a "screen shot" - a frozen image from a personal video game - falls within the fair use exception to the law of copyright." "The only issue on appeal, however, is whether Bleem's unauthorized use of Sony PlayStation game screen shots in its advertising was a violation of Sony's copyright. The district court ruled in favor of Sony, entering a preliminary injunction against Bleem." "Given that all four factors weigh in favor of the conclusion that Bleem's use of the screen shots was fair, our attention must turn to whether the district court abused its discretion in entering injunctive relief in favor of Sony." "The way of simulations is a slippery one for Bleem and if it chooses to embark upon it, it must do so without the support of Sony's copyright. With that limitation in mind, we conclude that Bleem's use of Sony's copyrighted material was fair. Source: http://www.intellectual-property-management.com/intellectual_property_case_law.htm
