Hi All - I am thinking of writing an e-paper on an aspect of network security (firewalls and such). The paper includes screen shots of different application GUIs - some are commercial products, other shareware.

I do have one issue, though -- are these screen shots of application GUIs protected by copyright law?

If so, are all the titles and website that discuss software (that include GUI screenshots) violations of copyright law if they do not have specific written permission?

Thanks,

Chuck
