[game_preservation] support

[Allen R Partridge]

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know the the legal position here regarding use of a screen 
capture or captured movie clip of game play.  I believe that there is 
a point at which something like the Warhol Campbells Soup effect 
happens that redefines / repurposes the work -- In the same way that 
sampling might be used in music.  

Can we;

a) capture a screen of a legally owned game and then use that image 
for
      i) personal use only
      ii) instruction / education in a classroom
      iii) education through a collection or museum available to the 
general public for free.
      iv) the same as item 3 but charge for use.
      v) commercial use in other applications, videos or texts

It seems clear that the answer to at least number 5 is no, but is it 
really or is that just an assumption?  Anybody got any clues on what 
if any sort of waivers / permissions we need to move ahead gathering 
images / sounds / what about code?
