Commentary and parody is how some of the other examples I gave use things under fair use. There are a lot of different ways an original work can be used under fair use. If you read my original post that is not what I said applies here.I said quotes and commentary are generally considered fair use. Not commentary about the original writing as I mean it when I say commentary and parody, I mean that the original writing is commentary it self.
When you write something relatively short that is a commentary on another subject, which many of the stories here, and almost all of the comments here are, that commentary is generally considered fair use under the law.
Lets use Tosh as an example again, because he is using a video to make commentary on it he can use it as fair use. Now if you quote Tosh's commentary on a video, you can use his words withiut his permission, because his words are commentary of a subject and are therefore free use for you.
It is the second half of that example that applies here. IIN users write commentary on a subject, and the comedy group quotes that commentary under fair use.
