Love the funny memes, generally. Sorry but your post needs to be deleted. The first image I checked, the one of freaky Joe Biden “nibbling” on his wife’s hand, is a Getty image.
The post needs to come down but I hope you will consider continuing to post them as you have faithfully, but as links.

I was looking for some info about “fair use” of copyrighted materials, and although I haven’t found what I want yet, I did think this article provided a good overview:

https://thelawtog.com/memes-violate-copyright-law/

I believe the sudden change over the internet regarding the use of images has to do with an EU ruling which goes beyond US law. And this muddles things for Americans because the internet sharing takes place in a way that ignores boundaries. I don’t get it (yet), but I’ve noticed Twitter “losing” lots of art and Youtube has some videos wherein no official pictures of the persons named in it are used, instead generic photos of models portraying anger or a wedding scene etc. - looks like people on Youtube are bracing for more copyright enforcement as well.

Will no longer be attempting to do the memes. Too much hassle.

The dark forces win on this one.

Send me a PM if you want to be on my PM meme ping.
