Obviously the idea that fanfiction should be illegal is laughably stupid. I've railed against the concept of fanfaction, as I believe it is a creative black hole, and one of many indirect causes of the modern (western) comic book industry fucking itself into oblivion but I will defend it's right to exist to my very final breath.

Case and point: How would you justify parody? The moment you try to make fun something, ANYTHING, copyright holders could instantly shut you down simply because you are using their work as a reference point for your humor.

More than anything, we need our laws to clarify what Fair Use actually is because as it stands even if you follow every rule of fair use you can still get slapped with a C&D and have no way of combating the legions of legal teams.
