Author Pastelitodepapa

This artistic parody of a Scientology logo juxtaposes the most recognized symbol of LGBTQ people, the rainbow flag, and places it over the monochromatic symbol of a church that holds deeply anti-gay, and anti-trans views and policies. It serves as an abstract illustration of the very intersection between non-cisgender, non-heterosexual people and the community of Scientology adherents, many of whom are LGBTQ. U.S. Code Title 17 Chapter 1 Section 107 gives parodies protection for fair use as a derivative work. According to the US Supreme Court a parody is "the use of some elements of a prior author's composition to create a new one that, at least in part, comments on that author's works", and that commentary function provides some justification for use of the older work (see Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc.). See also the Wikipedia derivative work page. Additionally, the original logo consists only of simple geometric shapes or text, and does not meet the threshold of originality needed for copyright protection, and is therefore in the public domain.

Public domain This image of simple geometry is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain, because it consists entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship.
