Penny Arcade vs. American Greetings Revisited

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the your-right-to-parody-is-void dept.

Jojo writes "After American Greetings got some lawyers to bring down a Penny Arcade strip (M i r r o r) last week, PA is now striking back.. IANAL, but I fear their latest strip might get them into real trouble this time." As always, PA cracks me up, but these are scary events. The banned strip is clearly a work of parody, which I believe is still legal in this country, unless that too changed recently.

    The parody was not of Strawberry Shortcake, but of American McGee. SS was used in the parody but not the target of it.
