The US Constitution does not recognize ideas as property. Copyrights and patents are limited-time incentives which may be granted by the government to encourage creativity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Clause

Also, satire isn't protected, but parody is.

The US constitution does not effect me. Thanks for the correction on satire/parody, got them mixed up.
