Subject: RE: Help: parody legalities
Wow! Thanks everybody for the collective wisdom of Mudcatters! Now one further question, just to keep the conversation going. What constitutes publishing? If a parody is sent out over email or published in a newsletter...I mean, only the new words, with the suggestion that it be sung to "God Bless America" -- does that constitute publishing? Is that more problematic than singing it for some event (which may or may not be paid?)?
