Barney Doesn't Love The Web

from the let's-learn-a-new-word-today:-parody dept

It seems that Barney isn't quite so lovey-dovey off-screen.

The EFF has come to the rescue of some of those sites and has tried to teach Barney what the word "parody" means (can you say that, children?) - and what the Supreme Court has said about parodies.
