Thanks for the insight Tarmack, that was very useful. Do you have a background in this kind of law? (I ask that not in an accusatory manner.)
Believe me I've read through more than just a Wikipedia page, and the literature still left room to be interpreted the way that I had. I'd like to learn more about this so that going forward I can be prepared accordingly. If you are educated on the topic, do you know if there is any consideration in the situation when somebody tries to enforce a copyright on content that they got the license to after the parody had been created? In other words, does sale/transfer of copyright allow the new owner to make claims against any pre-existing works that they believe infringe on it?
