On the American side of the pond, being funny does not, in and of itself, equal parody; there is also a requirement that the original piece is used as a statement, satire or criticism directed at or about the original piece (otherwise there would be no justification for using that particular piece of work). Is there yet a formal definition of what constitutes parody, caricature or pastiche in the UK or is this still in development?Miri Frankelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10086207551292241559noreply@blogger.com
