There is a HUGE difference
parody and satire ARE protected free speech
what Smash Pictures did was neither...it was an "adaptation" that stuck very close to the books, nothing was parodied or satirized.
THAT is a clear violation and as such Smash was smart to settle...they;'d have been handed their ass.
