"Although new expression, meaning, or message may be relevant to whether a copying use has a sufficiently distinct purpose or character, it is not, without more, dispositive of the first factor."
In other words, just adding new expression, meaning, or message to a work does not, in and of itself, create a transformational use.
That's a troublesome ruling (to me, at least).
- tracker1 3y agoI'm a bit mixed on this myself. I can see it both ways, and the ruling itself was probably correct, and I didn't read the full judgement to even comment on how it should apply to new cases moving forward.
