#MEMEAct

Today’s update on the #MEMEAct has stirred mixed reactions online. The act, which aims to regulate the use of copyrighted content in memes and digitale satire, was revised to include duidelijkere definities van “fair use” en “transformative content”. While some support it for protecting creators’ rights, many fear it could limit freedom of expression on the internet. Memes have become a powerful form of social commentary, and critics argue that restricting them may silence important voices, especially among jongere generaties. Supporters counter that digital artists deserve credit and compensation when their work is reused. The latest changes offer some relief by allowing limited, non-commercial use without prior licensing. However, concerns remain about enforcement and possible overreach. The #MEMEAct-update is a reminder of the ongoing challenge om copyrightwetten in balans te brengen met creatieve vrijheid. What do you think — does this act protect creators of hinder free expression?
