Given google now show screenshots it seems a bizarre position to take.. are
they going to try and stop all websites and search engines giving
screenshots of their site..

Sounds like the lawyer isn't aware of the Web Archive/Wayback Machine
either...   (every re-iteration of their webpage, captured for all
eternity...!)



Can't actually add anything useful other than that though - sorry. :(

One for the legal eagles on NM please.



A client of mine runs a website which is a reviews directory of sites in a
market sector. As part of the reviews directory, which lists every single
site in the market (irrelevant of whether or not they are a client), the
directory listing uses screenshots from each site. It's similar to Rotten
Tomatoes.



One of these sites has had a falling out with a site who is an affiliate
client (they dont like the fact that people are posting negative reviews)
and has been told that they must remove the screenshots. They've received a
snotty letter from the lawyers stating;



*".. you have no right or license to reproduce these screenshots"*



They also go on to state that my client may only use the site name *'in
accordance with honest practises in industrial and commercial matters'* but
that the sites review system is '....*significantly misleading and in
contrary to the provisions of the Business Protection from Misleading
Marketing Regulations 2008'.*


So, two questions I suppose;



1) Can my client continue to use a screenshot from the site?



2) Can they force my client to a) not use the site name and b) have to
amend the review system?



I think the client feels he's being bullied here when he's not really doing
anything wrong, just that the site doesnt like the bad reviews.



Thanks
