if you do not perform the piece exactly as written, then you could claim the performance as a derivative work and not have to pay the rights fees - zork Jun 9, 13:11 8
- however..if you make it funny then its parody and fair use...if youll still beat me if you'll still cheat on me...when im drink on the floor -- nm - zdroid Jun 9, 13:17 1
  - but not all comedy is parody -- nm - zork Jun 9, 13:25
- This simply isn't true. If I play the uke and sing Beatles songs, I'm not performing the piece as written. But ASCAP will still tell my local coffee - mara Jun 9, 13:12 5
  - mara is correct. -- nm - TFox Jun 9, 13:33 2
    - Thank you. Now tell them that comparing Glee to the real world and saying the real world sucks is not a criticism of Glee. -- nm - mara Jun 9, 13:35 1
      - Glee doesn't hold to real world logic, so why would its fans' defenses? -- nm - TFox Jun 9, 13:40
  - just because they threaten someone, doesn't mean they are correct in their interpretation -- nm - zork Jun 9, 13:18 1

  - yours are very humpy :) - Epiphany Jun 9, 13:26 2
    - Later Skater: On Tour isn't quite that humpy. I dunno how humpy this November's will end up being. It seems like it'll just be Standard Level Humpy� - Qale Jun 9, 13:28 1
      - hee to the IM -- nm - Epiphany Jun 9, 13:36

  - the one in Dolores Claiborne is really really disturbing. - Mel Profit Jun 9, 13:07
  - Peter Straub apparently used to needle him about his books having no sex in them, so around that time he wrote that kind of stuff in just to show him. -- nm - Reagen Jun 9, 13:06
  - Uh, have you seen Spilce? -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 9, 13:04
  - Yeah, I remember the bathtub HJ scene vividly. And the weird sex dream in Apt Pupil is pretty memorable too. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 9, 13:03
- I have a (one-book) collection of Anais Nin stories that I found somewhere. - Dr.Vermin Jun 9, 13:01
- Nothing too vulgar. The dirtiest/funniest was "Chocolate, Please" by Lisa Lampanelli -- nm - MDH Jun 9, 13:00
crash, get to ika, STAT. -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 9, 12:59

I actually saw that Glee football scene. Like wtf. Delay of game, HELLO!!!!!?!?!!?!? -- nm - Shaun Jun 9, 12:55 3
- Not to mention illegal motion, probably illegal substitution too. - musubi Jun 9, 12:56 1
  - Good point...that would be more like 15 yards in penalties. -- nm - Jim Jun 9, 12:57
- I'm surprised that that article writer didn't add those 5 yards in with all the RIAA fines. :) -- nm - Jim Jun 9, 12:56
