Copyright law: Using screenshot in Video

[Guest]

Hi,

I used the blue iMessage "Bubble" from a screenshot I took on the iPhone in my video.

Am I allowed to publish the video without restrictions or is it forbidden, because I didn't create the "Bubble" all by myself?

Thank you very much for your help,

Toni

Don't think anyone will burst that bubble.

Icons are used all over the place.

all kidding aside, I know of only one time when someone got a cease and desist order from a legal rep of MOPAR. The man I know made a nice documentary about MOPAR cars and made DVD's and sold them via magazine articles ( car racing magazines, etc. ). Even though the documentary really promoted the brand a LOT and was obviously cool product, they sent him that letter.

He had to stop putting ads in the magazines to promote the sale of those DVD's.

Bummer.

but I think he somehow managed to sell most of the DVD's he had ordered up front from DVD maker...and go this money back from that at least.
