buckeyes Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Here is a shirt made by "Last Rights", an urban clothing company, putting the Miami Dolphins' logo to use. Kinda cool, thought I'd post it for ya'll to check out.http://www.karmaloop.com/products.aspx?Pro...;VendorCode=LRT -The Few, The Proud, The Paint Users.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sc8b Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Oh wow, wasn't expecting anything like that. Is that even legal? I can't imagine the Dolphins would want something that is so obviously their logo used to represent a gun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddball Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 It's legal under it's a parody of life. I'm serious on that. You can take an image, make a parody of it about something in life and you're perfectly legal. I don't know if there have been any Dolphins arrested for possession of guns, if so it could be a statement about that, or it could be a statement about the quarterback having a gun for an arm. Whether the Dolphins like the image is a different story, they can't legally do anything except put pressure on the people who produce the shirt, but they can keep you out of their facility for wearing it. This would go under Fair Use, based on it being a parody of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interviewer asked him if Michael Jackson ever got mad at him for the songs. He said he always has to get his permission first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolio got so pissed about it that it basically ended his career. So no, I don't think you HAVE to get permission to make a parody, it's just a really good idea.

But yes, your point is correct - Wierd Al secures rights to each of the songs he parodies, and pays royalties to the artists. But that's because his parodies are commerical works for profit - non-commercial parodies don't need permission. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

But that's because his parodies are commerical works for profit - non-commercial parodies don't need permission.Two points:1. I heard Weird Al say that Coolio had actually agreed to it beforehand, but either misunderstood or "misremembered". They patched things up later.2. Al said that legally he doesn't need permission to do the songs (because the artists would still get royalties), but he always gets it anyway. The only time someone didn't give permission was when he wanted to do "Live and Let Die" as "Chicken Pot Pie." Paul McCartney didn't want it because he is a vegetarian.
