He's not parodying the people, he's presenting copyrighted photos on his site without paying for them or being given permission as you need to do by law. He is trying to say that Fair Use permits him to use without permission or payment, pictures that others have taken. Fair Use allows for people to use parts of a work when analyzing or criticizing the work itself, but he isn't analyzing the work (the picture), he's writing about the people in the pictures, which is a huge difference. The four factors of Fair Use: 1. The Transformative Factor: The Purpose and Character of Your Use - perez 0, x17 1 2. The Nature of the Copyrighted Work - perez 0, x17 2 (as I understand it, perezhilton.com acquired and used some photos before they could be sold, thus making them useless to others) 3.

He's a pig-headed thief who had this coming to him. I hope he loses his case and gets thrown in prison or forced to pay the $7.2 million or something. Plus, most of his site's trash. It's not a celeb gossip blog but rather a celeb bash blog. He's very rude, crude and outrageously obnoxious (a lot of celeb gossip authors are in a sense, but he crosses the line WAY too much). He actually takes pictures of celeb's kids and babies and writes junk about them, saying they're ugly, etc. He just has a rotten attitude and needs to get over himself and pull his head out of his buttocks. Hopefully this experience will help him tame down a bit and lighten up, but I doubt it. Good news. He’s a pig-headed thief who had this coming to him.
