Justice Mary Sue?

[edschweppe]

Something I never expected to see: The original Star Trek Mary Sue fanfic, "A Trekkie's Tale" by Paula Smith, now the appendix to an amicus brief in docket number 21-869, "Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc., Petitioner v. Lynn Goldsmith, et al." at the United States Supreme Court. The case in question regards what appears to be a change in the way the Second Circuit handles claims of "fair use" of copyrighted material, which has potentially significant implications for fanfic in particular.

I am not a lawyer; I just follow some on Twitter, including the lead author of this brief, Mike Dunford.
