#MEMEAct The term "Meme Act" has different meanings depending on the context.

In the United States, Congressman Sam Liccardo introduced the "Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement (MEME) Act" in February 2025. This proposed legislation aims to prevent government officials and their families from profiting from cryptocurrencies, including memecoins, viewing such activities as potential conflicts of interest and a form of corruption.

In India, memes are considered "artistic works" under the Copyright Act of 1957. While copyright protection exists for original aspects of memes, the use of pre-existing copyrighted material often falls under "fair dealing" for purposes like criticism, commentary, and entertainment, provided it doesn't have commercial intent or harm sentiments.
