Hey guys,
Thanks for picking up the topic and all the support. I'm pretty stumped by the issue. As an author there's not much I can do. Everyone I've been in contact from Wiley have been great and very helpful. I've got all the support I've needed. This issue seems to be just a stupid corporate policy and I hope they would change it but the people I'm working with to get the book published doesn't have a word in this issue and they must follow it. I would also like to point out that I do get support from the Wiley folks with this issue and they have not left me alone even though it is contractually my responsibility.
But I that techdirt is 100% right about the core issue. Screenshots should definitely be covered by fair use. If they weren't there would not be tech blogs & computer magazines etc. This discussion is good. I hope publishers would change their policies.
Thanks!
