Parody Sites Can Be Whacked for IP Breaches
A web site that parodied the Journal de Montreal has been whacked with a $23,500 judgment for trademark infringement. The judge took the site’s profits from the parody (plus costs).
That means college papers that traditionally do spoof issues must be careful to make sure their parodies don’t look too much like the real thing.
No word yet on an appeal.
