    Copyright Issues on Images in Reviews

    Hi guys,

    I hope anyone here can help me!

    I'm busy building a website portal about local nightlife and general information about what's happening in South Africa, something like a online directory for businesses and new. But I would also like to include a section called "Reviews" where I would like to feature reviews of latest movies that hit the big screen and DVD's. I have someone who'll be doing the actual copywriting but my questions is regarding the images I would want to use for each review - images taken either from each movie's official website or as screenshots from the DVD. Can I do that? Or do I need anyone's permission? Can I just have a clause in my privacy policy that all images used in every movie and DVD review are copyrighted by their original owners (the movie distributors)?

    It's a tricky question! Take the movie 300 for example. If I write a review of it can I just go to it's official website and take any of the images there? Maybe add a little copyright note at the bottom of the review page "All images copyrighted 300"? Or must I contact them for permission? Isn't that going to take time and cost me something?

    I appreciate any help!
