Sorry, but SCOTUS unanimously disagrees with you. Look here.

No, that's a copyright violation case you linked to. This case is about trademark violation, a completely different area of the law. mhking did make a mistake when he said "FNC has to protect its copyright." He should have said "FNC has to protect its trademark." We covered that earlier up in the thread, though.

MCA Records for the exact same outcome on a case that is specifically about a parody of a trademark. This is the US 9th circuit though not SCOTUS.
