I wouldn't bet for or against that one, it all depends what happens this
year really. It depends on what Wikia does and also the market - if this
whole Web2.0 stuff, which we sadly Wikia also belongs, bubble pops it
might be over. It's hard to tell.

On the point of satire: Copyright situation for satire is defiantly
different to other areas, however I am not an expert in this field at
all and couldn't find any decent google hits within 10 seconds.
Interestingly, the Wikipedia article on [[Satire]] doesn't mention
anything as far as I can see. This could possibly be taken up by
somebody.
