Nonsense (in the sense that you really ought to be able to do it) it may well be, but its not *legal* nonsense. There's no "parody" defence. If the parody infringes on the original work (which it may or may not do depending on how much is copied and to what extent) then its an infringement. "Own private use" doesn't save it from being an infringement. -- Francis Davey _______________________________________________ Mailing list [email protected] Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public
