Best Answer

"Use in a parody of some of the content of the work parodied" has been regarded as fair use in court decisions; it is generally associated with the fair uses of critique and commentary.

The parody must be satirizing the work itself: changing the lyrics of a song to mock the song itself has been found to be fair; changing the lyrics of a song to mock a politician, for example, has been found to be infringing.

Does copyright apply to soundcloud?

A copyright protects original material (text, images, audio) recorded in a fixed format. There are two types of copyright, national and international. National copyright only protects original material produced within the country's borders. If your music was produced in the United States, then it is protected under US copyright laws, but not laws of other countries. International copyright, on the other hand, protects your music no matter where it was produced. A European artist can be protected by international copyright laws in the USA, for example.
