#MEMEAct The "Meme Act" is a term often used humorously or informally to refer to laws or proposed legislation that could impact the creation and sharing of internet memes. While there isn’t an official law named the "Meme Act," discussions around copyright laws—such as Article 13 of the EU Copyright Directive (now Article 17)—have raised concerns about how stricter content regulations might affect meme culture. Critics argue that such laws could limit creative expression and humor online by making it harder to share modified or remixed content, even when it falls under fair use or parody. Supporters, however, believe these measures are necessary to protect intellectual property rights in the digital age.
