Haha! Oh yes, I have seen "Fair(y) Use" video on youtube. It is good to know where the original parody came from. Thank you.
I would have to agree with you. The guidelines around fair use are pretty murky and I'm knee-deep in the sludge, trying to sort it all out.
I have read many things from copyright.gov, including the page that you are discussing here: http://www.copyright.gov/docs/regstat031308.html I admit I did not read it in full, but I read it halfway with a dictionary in my non-mouse hand. Then someone sent me a message with a link to your article, which made for much easier reading.
I do understand that not everyone is an expert at copyrights. I do my best to know as much as I already do... still not knowing everything and at the same time, knowing so much about copyrights that people are coming to me asking about them (I have a book on copyrights, written by a Copyright Lawyer).
It would be nice to message you. Out of courtesy, I would use a referral link to sign up if you could direct me as to where to go. Thank you once again, I'll be watching.
