The Importance of...

Posted by Ernest Miller

The JibJab controversy continues unabated. Here are a slew of links.

First, listen to 45 seconds of Guthrie's original, courtesy of the University of Virginia Library's Lift Every Voice exhibit (This Land is Your Land [MP3]).

Original "The Importance Of..." coverage:
Parody or Satire? iRaq Posters, JibJab Animation, Fuse's Silhouette Ads
EFF Defends JibJab Animation as Parody

Chris Cohen is having doubts, somewhat, about his original position that the flash animation was satire and not parody (JibJab video: am I to be labeled a flip-flopper?).

Reason publishes an essay favoring fair use and citing both me and Cohen (Jabbing JibJab).

Copyfight's Donna Wentworth looks at the underlying copyright on the music used in This Land is Your Land (Oops - I Seem To Be Standing On Your Shoulders).

Eugene Volokh must be getting a lot of email about this issue. We disagree, but he makes good points. Here are a few of his most recent postings:

De Novo weighs in that the use is fair (This Use is Fair Use).
