Leibovitz v. Paramount Pictures Corp., 137 F.3d 109 (2nd Cir. 1998). The first inquiry to wither the movie advertisement is of periodic nature is if the advertisement “may reasonably be perceived” as a new work that at least in part, comments on” the photograph. Id. at 114. The advertisement also had to comment on the original by ether ridiculing or interpret the original work. Id. at 114-15. A strong periodic nature of the new work will tip the first factor towards fair use, even after making some discount for the commercial nature of the new works. Id. at 115. In the SunTrust case, the eleventh circuit held that, a work will be treated as a parody if its aim is to comment upon or criticize a prior work by appropriating elements of the original in a new artistic work. 268 F.3d 1268-69. The more transformative the new work is the less significant the other factors will be. Id. at 1271. A work is considered to have transformative value if it can provide a social benefit, by shedding light on an earlier work, and, in the process, creating a new one.
Today is the day of the trial for the Faden vs Walt Disney, I am Mister Faden's attorney. This should be an easy case to win, its so obvious that Mister Faden’s video was fair, that doesn't mean I won’t take it seriously, just that i am confident. When i arrive at the courtroom my client is already seated along with most of the jury and the judge. As i am sitting there i can’t help but to think about how ironic this entire case is, the video itself was about copyright, its almost as if he wanted this to happen. Its time to make our opening statements, defendants are up first. “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my client is innocent, and has not committed any crimes against Disney. As i am sure you know, Mister Faden made a video concerning
While the tone may range from playful to angry, satire generally criticizes in order to make a change. Exaggeration, parody, reversal, and incongruity are satirical devices. Author’s use satirical devices to strengthen their central idea.
Satire can be defined as any work in which a human vice or folly is attacked with irony or sarcasm. An example of satire can be found in the song "When the President Talks to God" by Bright Eyes. In this song, the lyrics lay out hypothetical conversations between the President and God, which mocks current President George W. Bush and his use of strong religious influence while in office.
Satire is form of comedy in which flaws in people or society are chastised in order to prompt change in the objects of criticism. Regardless of how long ago comedy itself may have existed, the concept of satire was introduced by the Roman satirists, Juvenal and Horace. The tones conveyed in their writing characterize the main modes of satire, being Horatian and Juvenalian, and are still used in satire today. Presently, two popular forms of comedy that employ satirical elements include parody news sources and comedic performances. Although satirical writing has evolved throughout history, many aspects of satire are still apparent in both the articles of parody news sources, like The Onion, and the performances of professional comedians, like

The films Young Frankenstein and One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest can be viewed as a critical analysis of society’s issues and dysfunctions in the form of satire and parody using humor. While Young Frankenstein, Mel Brooks cinematic version of the gothic novel, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, uses parody in the form of Horatian satire, which is achieved through gentle ridicule and using a tone that is indulgent, tolerant, amused and witty. The film One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the adaptation of the Ken Kesey novel, uses a form of satire called Juvenalian satire which is demonstrated in the form of attacks on vice and error with contempt and indignation. Horatian satire will produce a humor response from the reader instead of anger or indignation as Juvenalian satire. Juvenalian satire, in its realism and its harshness, is in strong contrast to Horatian satire (Kent and Drury).

12). At the motion hearing, Attorney Erickson explained that Mr. Boyd was adamant about the motion and that Mr. Boyd would be arguing it pro se. (R. 30: 2-3). Mr. Boyd argued that a probable cause determination had not been made within 48 hours of his arrest as required by Riverside v. McLaughlin, 500 U.S. 44 (1991). He argued that this resulted in a violation of Due Process, which was grounds for dismissal of the case. (R. 30: 5). The Court found that there was no Riverside violation because a copy of the signed probable cause statement and judicial determination was attached to the State’s response to the motion and was timely. (R. 7-8; R.
Edward O. Wilson, the writer of this satire, writes about the opinions of two disagreeing sides to demonstrate the unproductive nature of these litigations. To do this, the author writes in a horatian manner and uses instances of exaggeration, parody, incongruity, and irony to help him convey his message that these arguments are pointless. The well distributed use of these strategies allows the writer to efficiently illustrate and mock the unproductive disagreement of these two groups of people.

Campbell's Soup Cans work suggests a mechanical uniformity that is repeated in the thousands of homes that have a similar object, a banal and common representation of the spirit of our time.
