I'm not sure a game would qualify as a parody though...
It's a very basic example. A parody is a work created to imitate, make fun of, or comment on an original work. I could easily throw humor in there to make fun of Matthew Perry.
yeah, but you're making a retail product... I just have no clue... If you were making a one time comedy show about him.. sure, but you're making something more permanent.
That's kind of why I was wondering if Charles Barkley Shut Up and Jam ran into legal trouble. It could've been made outside the US. I'll call a lawyer I know who deals with copyright law. We'll see what he says
It's interesting regardless!or he could have approved it.
even though the songs are parody, Weird Al almost always gets permission before doing it.
Snoop Dog was a major exception... and Snoop was such a whiner about it... (though eventually I guess he was cool) that Weird Al makes a point of always getting permission now.Coolio actually said no and Weird Al still did it due to a misunderstanding between their people. I think I remember him saying he doesnt need to do that but it's just a professional courtesy
Damn it was coolio, exactly.. all rappers are the same when you don't listen.
Gangsters Paradise was my jam
Where "was" = "is"

@Dashrender My lawyer friend got back to me and said "you don't need permission if it's a parody, but it's risky, often hard to be sure something is a actual parody. shut up & jam, barkley prob gave a license?"

All stuff we already knew. Parodies are totally legal but hard to prove.

We as in you not we as in me. I wasn't 100% which is why i asked

Friend said "parody is defensible, but law surrounding it is often unclear & open enough to debate & attack that relying on it can be risky"
Interesting stuff.

I saw a great video of someone driving down a snowy road past a disabled Tie fighter but didn't have a way to post that one. Very funny, though. It was so well done it looks like it really crashed on a mountain road.
