Podcast: Parody vs Satire & Jeff Michaels
This month on the Business Entertainment Sports and Technology Law Podcast, host Traci Holian discusses parody and satire with ARC Law Group partner Mark A. Pearson. They’ll uncover the oft-confused distinction between the two genres and how to tell the difference for purposes of “fair use” under the Copyright Act. Listen and learn to recognize this important distinction before creating your next work of authorship.
This week’s podcast also includes an interview with author and musician, Jeff Michaels. Jeff is the author of Please Hug Me- I’ve Been Delayed: The Only Survival Guide You’ll Ever Need to Survive the Not-So-Friendly Skies which can be found online at www.beendelayed.com. In addition to his authorship of the amazingly hilarious travel guide, Jeff Michaels is a musician, songwriter and band member of the Jeff Michaels Band.
As you might expect, the song you heard on this episode, All These Words, was provided courtesy of Jeff Michaels off his latest release "Lost in Boston". You can find out more about Jeff and his band by visiting their website.

This looks like a very interesting podcast that clears some misconceptions that people might have about the two different terms: parody and satire. There are obviously legal implications when one is using another person's work in a modified way to make fun of it for some purpose or another. This is why it is important to keep abreast of what the legal provisions of copyright are, in order to stay on the right side of the law. Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law.

Technology has made the line between what is legal sharing and what is illegal infringement of copyright more blurred. If one is sharing a photo with friends on Facebook for no financial gain, that might be interpreted as legal sharing, but if the photo was manipulated for satire or parody purposes, the answer is not so clear cut. My opinion is that the internet is there for sharing, and there are other ways to earn money that do not impede people from enjoying the power of the internet to the full.

Thus, we use inferential statistics to make inferences from our data to more general conditions; we use descriptive statistics simply to describe what's going on in our data.
