Copyright Law: Fair Use Example

Post by Garr »

Some interesting information on Fair Use law regarding parodies!

[quote="justinsomnia.org"]Twenty days ago I received a cease and desist letter from Liberty Counsel, a law firm representing Exodus International, a group that claims to offer gay people “freedom from homosexuality through the power of Jesus Christ.â€

Some organization made a billboard that said "Gay? Unhappy? www.thissite.com" and that guy made a parody of an IMAGE of that billboard and was issued a cease and desist. The link that I provided contains a copy of the letter that the legal TEAM from the ACLU sent to the organization stating that the parody fell within the "fair use" rights of the man's first amendment free speech rights.
