Well, they're not, they're doing it to save paying anything out in royalties. |

I was at the Rock Concert live and always wanted to check that episode out again. I guess this means the cool segment where the Rock and Austin sang together during the Invasion will be gone. That segment can be found on the Summerslam 2001 DVD. |

That segment can be found on the Summerslam 2001 DVD. The SummerSlam DVD has the segment where the Alliance sang to Austin. The Rock/Austin segment from November 2001 has never been released on home video by WWE, and the singing parts have been removed from its airing on the Network. So does that mean no more Angle singing "Jimmy Crack Corn and I dont care"? Actually, no. That's intact on the Network, as is Austin singing "Kumbaya." Austin singing "We Are the Champions" has been removed, though. |

Stuff where Rock sang his own stuff, why would they cut that out? He's under contract to WWE.

But parody is protected under 1st Amendment laws. But I do understand.

Just checked, the go-home Raw for Survivor Series 2001 is completely butchered. Originally Rock and Austin started singing Margaritaville and then Rock catches him with a surprise Rock Bottom to end the show. In this version, Austin starts setting up the singing segment and, when he asks for the crowd to stop chanting "What?", it awkwardly cuts to Rock giving him the Rock Bottom. That sucks. Austin and Rock singing Margaritaville is one of the only legitimately great moments of the invasion. |

The WWE needs to pull a Weird Al and ask the original artists if they can do the parodies.

Basically, parody is protected under the first amendment, but satire isn't. Music-wise, this means that if it isn't clearly mocking the source material and is instead using the source material to make an unrelated point, it's not protected. Otherwise, basically all plagiarism could be considered legal if the plagiarists just claimed they were making parodies. |
