It would be nice if they are allowed. Then I can post the re-mixed version of Rogaine there. BiaB 2013 b366, RB 2013 b4, WinXP Pro SP3, Toshiba M70, 1.8GHz 2GB RAM 100GB HD.

To be a "fair use" parody, you have to somehow comment on the original work that you are copying from. Quote: Producers or creators of parodies of a copyrighted work have been sued for infringement by the targets of their ridicule, even though such use may be protected as fair use. These fair use cases distinguish between parodies (using a work in order to poke fun at or comment on the work itself) and satires (using a work to poke fun at or comment on something else). Courts have been more willing to grant fair use protections to parodies than to satires, but the ultimate outcome in either circumstance will turn on the application of the four fair use factors. -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use#Fair_use_and_parody /> Now at bandcamp: Crows Say Vee-Eh @ bandcamp or soundcloud: Kevin @ soundcloud

It would be nice if they are allowed. Then I can post the re-mixed version of Rogaine there. I posted a couple of parodies and got no flac about it. I even said if this is not allowed delete the post and let me know. The post stayed up and I received no warnings about posting other parodies. Just my experience. When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?" 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Not someone else's parody work, which can be copyrighted and probably is... --Mac PGmusic FAQs, Tutorials and Updates! click here You must be Audiominds. www.audiominds.com

Mine is a little bit smaller and not quite as many dials, lights, knobs, wires, speakers, inputs, outputs, sliders, leds, cords, etc. etc. D There are only 3 kinds of musicians: those that can count, and those that can't!
