Satire falls under the Parody clause, so, no, copyrights are not infringed

So they have no merit in banning her and taking her art down? They've done it once already, this is stupid as hell

Not unless they wish to get into the business of thought crimes.

Of course, every good satirist, from the beginning of recorded human civilization, has suffered at the hands of his or her peers. I see no reason why today would be any different.

Hmmmm, only one person got upset and he's an infamous crazy fur :S

I'd still say it's stealling and harrasment of another user, that much is certain.

That's the point of parody, it's not supposed to be a nice take on something.

And I see no reason to have her banned and her artwork removed, only one person has got upset and he's an infamous butthurt person xD

Read up a bit more Vegex. The images in question are harassment, not parody.

That which the user has posted is neither meant to be a critique nor is it taken from any particular original.

Which is exactly my point! Thank you.

Hmmmm, this is getting quite complex.

If I remember correctly, Penny-Arcade made a satire strip about Strawberry Shortcake, they where in turn sued by the company for harassment

I can't remember how it turned out, though it didn't seem very fair

To figure out what is "fair" one would have to take things to a lawyer or to court.

Funny, 99% of America doesn't need to do that.


I smell a rat.

If they want the true definition they do. You can claim that something is unfair, but from what I've seen, when something goes to court it's a whole other bag of marbles.

What I mean is..

THe vast majority of cases reguarding parody, are overturned. The court never even takes the case. This is because it is (supposed to be) a constitutional right.

Only in extreme cases of defamation is it different. (Or basically any case of badmouthing bush. He, apparently, gets special entitlement beyond even civil rights, but can hold you to criminal charges for it, as dozens have discovered the hard way!)

wow

I have to say the pics are..... not to my taste and border on the fine line between satire and harassment. I think it's a shady border but a few of those are going beyond the pale. And I do not refer to the scat pictures either.

Questioning authority. Vegex.
