Legal Answers
  • Q. Is a satire I've created based on another work considered fair use? Can I sell it?
    A: "Fair Use" is not an affirmative right, it is only a defense. In other words, you would have to be sued first and use the "Fair Use" arguments as a defense. You should consult with an experienced entertainment lawyer before taking any action or inaction.
