Don't you have to actually satirize the content being used, though? It would seem that using images to create a satire of something totally separate would require permission.
- netsharc 8y agoYou're correct, thinking you're allowed to steal anything just because you're going to put it in a content satirizing something else is such a huge misunderstanding of the law. E.g. you can use melody from a Justin Bieber song to make fun of him/the subject matter of the song, but if you make a video to make fun of Trump and you use Bieber's song as the background music, nope!
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoYou're not likely to get taken to court though, are you? You would expect to receive a cease and desist letter or a DMCA takedown first, right? If you weren't making any money off it, and it wasn't your intention to make money, and you had no monetisation avenues active, and you only made a handful of infringing media, during a brief period, what's the worst that could happen?
