The laws in terms of fair use are surprisingly flexible and the guidelines to where a work is considered copied is broadened to where originators can hardly protect there works form being recreated into a criticized version of the original. There are probably more artists out there who are looking for an original inspiration to spark a newer creative version of a work than there are originators clinging to their original creation. No matter if a work is a recreation or an original, something inspired the idea in the first place whether it be a movie that influenced you as a child, a song that your parents played over and over, or even a culture that you grew up around there was something that sparked the light bulb in your head.
When creating a Parody to an original work you are allowed quite a bit of leeway to how much of the original material you are using depending on the purpose of your recreation. You can use as much movie clips for example as you would like without asking as long as the purpose is obvious and you are critiquing or making fun of the original. It is a continued controversial issue that originators often lose when taking their “copiers” to a courtroom. It is because People have a right to recreate a work when used in a transformative way. “Bureaucrats….invoke those rules to consolidate power, and perceive the constructive impulse of hackers as a threat.” Just like the Star Wars commercial on Mountain Dew, they recreated similar episodes and battles to promote a soda. It was transformative enough that it was considered new.
