The discussion section provides evidence
that the presence of parody is not likely to cause any economic damage to rightsholders;
in fact, the data suggests that the presence of parody is related to increased audiences
for original works and therefore increased revenue. A small but growing market for
skilled amateur parody production is identified and described.
It's a bit hard to tell given the way the data are broken down, but the definition of "parody" used in the study seems to include vids--instances in which a song is used to tell a new story with existing video clips. The study doesn't explain whether it classified vids as "weapon" parody, where a song is used to comment on something else, but it seems likely.
