So, would you be OK with someone buying James Dobson videos, recutting them to make it a satanic video and selling them and pocketing the money?

Pretty dramatic example, but same issue. Of course you can’t do that, that is why there is copyright law. If you don’t like the film or object to something in it, you have the right NOT to buy it, you don’t have the right to alter it in violation of copyright law and profit from that.

As long as James Dobson got paid and it was clearly marked as altered I have no problem with that. In fact that is the essence of satire when you think about it, the difference being with satire the original does not get paid!
