The Supreme Court has recognized that parodies can provide social benefits, by shedding light on earlier works and, in the process, creating new ones. In Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc., the Court viewed parodies as having a similar privilege to other works that comment on or criticize existing works, but also suggested that a parody that harms the market for the original might still constitute copyright infringement. Since that time, courts have continued to consider where the line between parodies that infringe copyrights and trademarks and those that do not, as well as between parodies and satires.
