By that logic, the person doing the screen shot is the author, in the 
same way as the person who compile some code is the author. The compiled 
code is produced by the compiler, but originated from the act of typing 
in text. The screen shot is produced by the windowing system but 
originated from the act of typing prtscrn (or however it is done).
