A little lame in some places, but funny enough to read: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=caple/offbase/060426

Is that legal? I know it's a free column and all, but I figure someone is going to get sued somewhere. Someone always gets sued

Is what legal? Posting links? The short answer is yes. Leading people to an article violates nothing.

To clarify: Is writing an article using someone else's copyrighted characters and then posting it on your web site legal?

I think it falls under the category of satire, which is legal. Otherwise Mad Magazine would have been shut down years ago.

I think it would be safe since it is clearly a parody which is allowable.

ScarletKnight41 Apr 26 2006 03:36 PM

Yes - I have done some minor research on this issue, and parody is permitted free speach. Caple's safe.
