I'm getting into non-fiction technical writing (a blog, but potentially ebook or otherwise). Often the best technical advice come from dissecting and synthesising good and bad examples from the industry. Basically, I want to take screenshots of a bunch of websites, then discuss why they're good and how they could be better, and come out the other end with a schema for creating a new website base on those lessons. Fairly straightforward. My question is whether copyright could prevent me from selling such a product if the site owners don't give explicit permission? I could ask a lawyer, but I assume this is a common concern for writers doing research. Is reproduction of third-party content for the purpose of analysis "fair use"?
