So, Adult Source Media made Fifty Shades of Grey – A XXX Adaptation.
Copyright law in the US allows for parody–that’s how Weird Al has a career and all. It’s protected speech.
There is a Twilight porn out there, too, but it’s a “parody.” Not an especially good parody, but so long as they slap “a parody” on it, you’re stuck quibbling over the definition of funny and what counts as actual satire, which makes a lousy court case.
This Fifty Shades movie is just a straight up “adaptation.”
I don’t even know.
Neither does Anastasia
No one has been sued, yet. The movie was released a few weeks ago.
There’s just so much compounded irony going on here.
First–they’re going to make a real Fifty Shades movie, and it’s not going to be a porn.
But… by all rights?
It should be. What the hell is the point of Fifty Shades of Grey without dozens of sex scenes? It’s going to end up Nine 1/2 Weeks with Cheese.
If the James Faction does sue for copyright infringement, will lightning strike her? We will all collapse into some sort of infinite hypocrisy incursion?
These are mysteries.
I do know that I now desperately wish for a real Fifty Shades porn parody. In the right hands, that could be completely awesome.
Also, I really, really don’t recommend the porn. It’s too boring to snark on, and not good enough to be a turn on.
I am guessing there aren’t many ginger men working in porn…

So in other words, just like the book.
Exaaaaactly. Only with way less boring email headers and footers.
I still can’t believe she got away with all those headers and footers. I wanna know the exact word count boost those accounted for.
