Part of the point to the copyright is that there are criminal and civil actions possible. If you bootleg tapes and sell them, that's criminal. If you copy pages from a book and sell them (e.g., Kinko) that a civil matter. It is a rule of life that anyone can sue anyone else; and the party with the greatest assests and willingness to expend them wins. Thus: one can use frame enlargements as suggested by Thompson, just as Kinko copied material they had no right to. But one should be aware of the risk exposure. It may also be that B & T have a deal with their publisher under the publisher's legal insurance. As far as "contact with Library of Congress representatives;" they are hardly disinterested parties. The logic of not diminishing value is dubious; even an amateur in these matters (I am not an attorney nor am I giving legal advice) could punch through that allegation. The Studios do sell "production stills" which mimic the actual scene but are photographically better than frame enlargements. While not in the multi-million dollar range the sale of rights to use production stills is a small profit center. I have heard prices of fifty to one hundred dollars per still. If one could avoid paying these prices by simply copying frames, well . . . . A better argument might be made on ground of "fair use." But that was the argument made by the losing defendant in the Kinko case. Yet, I suppose it's worth trying, if one is willing to risk it.
