Two Copyright Case Studies from a Literary Perspective.

The article presents case studies of copyright disputes on American literatures "The Wind Done Gone," by Alice Randall, a parody of Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With the Wind," and "Lo's Diary," by Pia Pera, revision of Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita." It says that Randall and Pera had asked protection under the fair use clause of the copyright law to defend against the alleged intellectual property infringement. The authors argue that parodies and direct rejoinders are protected from censorship.
