Do screenshots from Yandex and Google violate copyright?
Hello.
We are making a commercial site for publishing paid comments and reviews.
On this site, it is planned to place screenshots with posted commercial reviews and comments on various Internet sites, incl. Yandex Maps, Yandex Market, Google Maps, Google Play, Youtube various forums, etc.
Screenshots with comments and reviews posted on the site will be completely fictitious without a specific description of any product and its exact characteristics.
Question: Will there be copyright infringement on the part of Yandex, Google, etc., if these screenshots posted on the site contain the original logos of the above companies, their corporate color schemes, signs?

For example, Google-Yandex Maps directly prohibits the use of their maps not through their API. Yes, while you are the elusive Joe, nobody cares, but you have already dug a hole on the sidelines for yourself.
Vryatli, you took a screenshot of a public service and you don’t appropriate its contents for yourself, which means that there can be no problems. Now, if you take a screenshot of the content to which you illegally gained access and then put this screenshot on the network, then it will be a hassle, and so, everything is OK!
If you are making a commercial site, then the easiest way is to write to Yandex / Google and where else are you going. Because here I agree with freeExec - as long as no one cares about you - no one cares about you, as soon as it turns out that something can be shaken from you - everyone will climb to shake.
For each company - there are Terms of use for interface elements and logos.
They are clearly spelled out, and in Google, for example, you can apply for the use of the brand, and for YouTube as well. Somewhere I saw for Yandex.
If you really want to follow the rules - google all these questions.
Use a VPN and google in English, and the country is the USA, and the city of New York or San Francisco, since Google closed some rules for Russia, or for the CIS, or for Europe.
For example:
https://www.google.com/permissions/ - there are about screenshots.
https://www.youtube.com/intl/ru/yt/about/brand-res...
click on the left menu at the top three lines, if there are links in blue letters - go and see.
For Yandex, google yourself.
