Parody refers to the act of satirizing or criticizing an existing work. This column details the requirements for parody to be permissible, providing legal cases as examples.

​While precedents present criteria for parody to be permissible, these criteria are very strict, and parody has a high probability of copyright infringement. Therefore, we recommend that before posting content on platforms such as YouTube or podcasts, you thoroughly review it with a legal expert with extensive knowledge of copyright law to reduce legal risks.
