A JibJab Coda
Posted by Ernest Miller
Findlaw's Modern Practice publishes an article analyzing the JibJab case (You Can't Say "Parody" / That Really Scares Me). The article is a good, solid summary of the issues with a handful of occasionally humorous, sometimes groan inducing legal riffs on the JibJab parody:
You can't say [parody] / that really scares me /
sometimes a [lawyer] can / come in quite handy.
The article concludes that, ultimately, JibJab had the stronger case:
Jib Jab has the stronger case, based on the limited nature of Ludlow Music's copyright, the fact that the Jib Jab work is indeed a parody, and the weight of relevant fair use factors.
