Technically, you could probably do it in the states in a location that trader joe's isn't. Although I'd definitely have a very good lawyer on retainer if I was thinking of that :/
- ObviousScience 12y agoParody requires that it be a work of art. Are you implying that his buying their products, transporting them, and reselling them is some kind of performance art which is criticizing Trader Joes in some fashion? And that this guy is going to stand in front of a judge and claim he's not in the business of selling merchandise, he's a performer?
- lauraura 12y agoI'm pretty certain fair use doesn't apply when you're making money off the trademark you're using in "fair use".
