What is 15 Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music (1994) about?
The Supreme Court ruled that a parody can be considered fair use under US copyright law. While the 2 Live Crew song copied elements from the original, as a parody it reasonably commented on and criticized the original work. The commercial nature of a parody alone does not render it unfair, and a parody is less likely to affect the market for the original work.
