Barry Trotter and the infringement of copyright--parody rules in the UK.

The article reports on the proposal for a new exception to copyright infringement for parody in Great Britain.

Based on the report, the British Intellectual Property Office proposed an exception for the purposes of caricature, parody or pastiche.
