You are correct however there is a grey area if they claim it is parody. As a cover it is not fair use.

- ghaff 4y agoYes, parody/satire is often a difficult case, e.g. https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/dr.-seuss-in-the-land-of-fair-use-lawsuits https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/dr.-seuss-in-the-land-of... Just playing off some well-known characters or some defining characteristic of a work doesn't necessarily constitute fair use although judges seem to often disagree on the particulars.
