Courthouse News reports:
Attorneys for Disney and ABC told a New York federal judge on Thursday that late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s satirical prank Cameo videos of disgraced former Republican congressman George Santos are protected against copyright infringement claims by the fair use doctrine.
The expelled lawmaker sued Kimmel, the ABC television network, and Walt Disney Co. in February for fraud and copyright infringement, claiming the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host deceived him into making personalized videos on the Cameo app.
Santos has argued that Kimmel’s use of the Cameo videos in a national broadcast falls outside of the two types of licenses offered by the app: a personal use license or a business license. He argues he has sole discretion to set prices for each.
Read the full article. The Santos hearing was held in the same courthouse where Trump’s trial is underway. As you can see below, Santos is mocking Kimmel because he didn’t show up in person.
Let’s see if @jimmykimmel puts up or shuts up today.
