Lucasfilms Nixes Star Wars Live Screening

posted at 16:42 GMT by T.Whid in /news/twhid

The Seattle PI has an article about Lucasfilms sending a cease and desist letter to a local Seattle-based theater company. The company had been planning to do a live parody of Star Wars in which they would turn off the sound and redub it live. This brings up the question are parodies fair use? And if so, should copyright holders be allowed to order people not to parody their work?
