} Fair dealing for parody or satire
} You can now use copyright material for the purposes of parody and
satire, provided your use is "fair".

So I suppose it depends on whether accepting a EULA to access the
service has precedence over any rights for fair dealing you might have
under Copyright.

For example, I'd assume you can't use satire as an excuse to disclose
information that might have been provided to you confidentially (a case
in which contractual obligations would have precedence over satire). I
suspect this is is a real lawyer question about how the Copyright Act
and this agreement might interact.
