EFF suing on JibJab's behalf for "This

EFF suing on JibJab's behalf for "This
Land is Your Land" parody 08/02/2004 03:02 AM
EFF has taken things one step further with JibJab and their endangered political parody of This Land is Your Land (Woody Guthrie's copyright holder has threatened to sue them for their work).

We're bringing the fight to Guthrie's rightsholders, and suing on JibJab's behalf, "to defend JibJab's fair use and free speech rights."

EFF defending creators of This Land is
Your Land parody 07/29/2004 06:53 AM
I'm proud to relate that EFF is representing Jib Jab, the creators of the wonderful "This Land is Your Land" Flash parody that aroused the ire of the holder of Woody Guthrie's copyrights and resulted in a threatened lawuit. Here's a little bit of my cow-orker Fred von Lohmann's letter to the copyright-holder's lawyers.

In your July 23 letter, you contend that "This Land" offers no "satirical comment" on the Guthrie original. You are mistaken.

While your view of Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land" as being predominantly about "the beauty of the American landscape" and "the disenfranchisement of the underclass" is interesting, most Americans think of the song as an iconic expression of the ideal of national unity. Jib Jab's parody addresses, among other things, the lack of national unity that characterizes our current political climate (ending with the optimistic hope that unity might be rediscovered). In short, "This Land" explores exactly the same themes as the Guthrie original, using the parodic device of contrast and juxtaposition to comment on the original. See Abilene Music v. Sony Music Entertainment, 320 F .Supp.2d 84, 90-91 (S.D.N.Y. 2003) (emphasizing the role of contrast and juxtaposition as parodic devices). The parodic comment takes on an additional dimension of irony when viewed in light of the often omitted closing stanzas of Guthrie's original.

The US Navy is set to christen an experimental aluminum catamaran dubbed the 'X-Craft,' designed to serve as a test bed for a variety of future coast-hugging combat technology. A multi-purpose ramp lets the X-Craft launch a variety of "manned and unmanned surface and sub-surface vehicles," like inflatable boats and scouting submarine drones. DefenseTech has the details—I say we chip in and make Gizmodo a floating, mobile operation.
