Joke Copyrights
April 20, 2006 11:29 AM
I'm looking for information on joke copyrights -- specifically, what is considered fair use? Any links to resources on the subject would be appreciated.
I'm trying to find out what the rules are for republishing jokes in a mainstream media publication.

Unless you can provide more info, republishing copyrighted works in a commercial widely-available medium for profit is pretty clearly not fair use.

If you change the wording, I think you should be OK. It might be considered plagiarism though if you didn't credit the original author.
