Parody and satire are protected speech BUT I would not want to be VIVID or any of these porn studios who produce them should they be sued. Saturday Night Live is a TV program which has a long history of satire/parody, it's a big part of what that show is about. VIVID is a hardcore porn video producer - that's what they're all about. A persuasive argument could be presented that those XXX 'parody' videos are first and foremost hardcore sex videos the same as every other video they produce and the 'parody' aspect is a thinly veiled attempt to capitalize on the trademarks/copyright of the parodied coprighted source material.
