#274 A Totally SFW-Post About Porn (And The Way More Boring Subject Of Copyright)

Last week there was a story about porn producer Axel Braun. He and some of his smut producing colleagues have started a war on illegal downloaders. That's right downloaders, not the seeders, individual downloaders that partake in the illegal practice of copyright infringement. Axel Braun alone has sued 8000 individuals. The industry is hoping that this "individual" approach will bring shame on the persons involved, hoping that this shame will help resolve this problem.

Being the kind of person that does not walk away from porn research, I dug a little deeper in the world of Axel Braun. It turns out, that besides your regular porn niches, Axel Braun is the Stanley Kubrick of porn parodies. Numerous of popular films and TV-shows, including their characters, story lines and their music, have been reshaped and by adding mass amounts of dicks, tits and ass, been parodied.

When it comes to copyright and parodies all knowing wikipedia states: "A parody (pronounced /ˈpærədiː/; also called send-up, spoof or lampoon), in contemporary usage, is a work created to mock, comment on, or make fun at an original work, its subject, author, style, or some other target, by means of humorous, satiric or ironic imitation. " and in that sense has a fair-use policy when it comes to copyright.
What I'm wondering right now, are these porn parodies in fact works to mock, comment on or make fun at the originals, or are these parodies a very easy way to cash in on other people's creative work that has copyright on it themselves.
