I’m working on a fan site for Pushing Daisies but don’t understand how to go about getting the images for my layout. I’d love to take screen caps and use those along with images from the official site, but they don’t respond to emails. =/
What are my options?
Technically, any images you find on the show’s official site belong to ABC and you cannot use them without permission.
However, under US Copyright law, it is OK to use a few images in a limited capacity for a fan site. How many you and use and how you use them is up to a judge; there’s no hard-and-fast rule.
Would I were you, I would focus on trying to contact one of the production companies, rather than ABC, since the production companies will have whatever you want.
You can find the production companies on IMDBPro.
