I'm sure Haq can clarify if he actually cares, but I don't think there's any grounds for suit here. Parodies and covers are perfectly legal.


but weird al has to ask permission to do his albums.


He doesn't have to ask permission. just pay royalties.
He DOES ask permission, though because he's a classy mofo.


He doesn't have to pay royalties either. Parody is fair use.

See my comments above. He probably does have to pay royalties. I don't think he SHOULD, and I would be happy to take his case, but what he does is not really classic "parody" under fair use analysis.
