Are Memes Protected By Copyright Law ?

The social media trends change very fast, almost every day but one thing that hasn't lost its charm over the years is the consumption of memes on social media. Even if someone avoids the Internet and social media, they are almost certain to have come across funny memes somewhere or the other whether in print media or in marketing advertising. That's because memes have a lot of potential for shaping ideas and establishing a conversational environment.

Memes are amusing photographic or audio-visual representations created for fun and entertainment. They are frequently built on sarcasm, satires, parody, or just simple jokes and they use different images or snippets from the many types of media available on the internet.
