Now JibJab is being threatened with a possible lawsuit for the parody.

Yet we hear parodies all the time with other songs. Never had problems there.

Interesting article. Also there are some affiliate marketers offering viewing of the video in exchange for signing up to a list.

What do you know, JibJab wins the lawsuit!

"JibJab, creators of the hilarious parody of Woody Guthrie's 'This Land is Your Land' featuring Pres. Bush and Sen. Kerry, were first threatened with a lawsuit and then, with the help of EFF, went to court first in a pre-emptive strike. Well, EFF discovered that the song has actually been in the public domain since 1973 because it was first published in a songbook [PDF] in 1945 and the copyright was never renewed. The case has now been settled. "
