A short film explaining the concept of fair use that was cobbled
together entirely from clips of Disney movies.
That's not a collection of copyrighted works for the sake of it,
that's using a copyrighted works to illustrate the discussion about
fair use.
One could well consider BJAODN as an example of
parody, in fact. :)
A parody of what? "parody" doesn't just mean something funny. It has
to be a parody of something, and then you can use that something under
fair use. BJAODN would have to be a parody of itself for that to work,
which is obviously nonsense.
Most of the content of BJAODN is pretty clearly a parody of normal Wikipedia
content. It has a lot in common with the Uncyclopedia (though frankly
Uncyclopedia is amazing).
