Screenshots for content

2 replies
Hi everyone! I would like to write a small series of articles about web design and common mistakes on e-commerce websites. I have some great examples and I want to make screenshots of website pages to illustrate common issues. Websites are not in my property, moreover I don't even know who own them. Should I have their permission or it's ok?
It's not for sale or distribution, just for my blog.

    Your blog IS distribution.

    If you want to use a site as an example, provide a link to the site instead of an image on your site. Otherwise you may be violating copyright - not worth the hassle.

    If it's critical to use the screenshots - then get permission.

    Be cool and provide a link... or ping them an email and ask them if you can use their stuff as an example. I got a load of free traffic doing that on a niche blog as most people will promote your stuff if you treat them cool.
