Hey, Im shooting some "parody ads" here in Australia, and was wondering how far i could go (Name wise, etc) before i get a less than friendly email asking me to go to court....?
Fancy seeing you here Mr Red
The best that I know,when you're doing parodies copyright is very very lax, however, you still need to pay attention to trademark law.
Great! Well ill come clean, there is the HORRIBLE communications company here in aus called "Vodafone" So im going to make a anti-vodafone add... But using different names, like vodafail or vodamoan...
Any links to this story? Sounds interesting.It is worth mentioning that there have been cases in the US where the courts determined that the 'parody' was not fair use because it wasn't "funny enough" and therefore was considered defamation.https://www.facebook.com/chainoftitle
