Fair, Balanced, and Litigious
The folks at Fox have threatened legal action against the makers of a parody T-shirt that reads "Faux News: We Distort, You Comply" in a Fox-like logo. This sort of parody is pretty close to the core of "fair use"—well, that or a whole lot of T-shirt makers are in trouble—but it does make me wonder: I own one of those shirts; if I stroll by the D.C. bureau of Fox wearing it, will they sic one of their legal mutts on me?
