The court made a precedent involving what is and is not of fair use. The court upheld the four factors to be considered when fair use is in question, and in doing so gave a more defined explanation of what is and is not a work of parody.

National Broadcasting Co., 482 F. Supp. 741, 747 (SDNY 1980) (repetition of "I Love Sodom"), or serve to dazzle with the original's music, as Acuff-Rose now contends.”
