#MEME法案 #The MEME Act 202505 has sparked heated discussions, highlighting the conflict between internet culture and copyright. Meme images often convey social observations in a humorous or satirical manner, and are part of free speech. However, using protected images without authorization may involve actions such as 'reproduction', 'adaptation', and 'public transmission', which violate copyright laws.

Fair use must consider the purpose of use, nature, proportion of the portion used, and the impact on the original work's market. If a meme possesses 'transformative' qualities, such as adding new meanings or being used for non-profit purposes, it may fall within the scope of fair use. However, if used for commercial purposes, it could constitute infringement.

The law should strike a balance between protecting creators' rights and promoting creative expression. It is recommended to clearly define the scope of fair use, allowing creators to create comfortably while respecting the original works, thereby promoting cultural diversity.
