Discussion in a different thread has lead to this one because it got me curious.
In my mind, I FEEL like I understand how far you could push it before parody becomes 'copyright infringement' but I dunno for sure.
Most of my parodies aren't the 'imitate the actual thing 100%' kind of parody, they tend to be a little more original than that. Still kind of curious about the 'science' behind a good parody that doesn't infringe copyright or trademark.
One element of one of my stories is a parody of Chateau Romani item from Zelda (we've already discussed it) but with feedback from you guys I decided to change it to be a 'likeness' than a 100% clone. It's (currently) still called just Chateau, but only until I think of a better name for it. I've changed the item to be dragon milk (Sounds gross but hey, star wars has blue and green milk) fermented in dragon's breath. The stuff is so alcoholic that one cup of the stuff would put most Amateure drinkers under the table. Very few people among alcoholics can drink more than one cup in a single day.
