As a meme maker myself, if I want credit, then I put my name in the meme. But regardless, I don't care if people credit me because I want the memes to make a difference in the world. But beyond that, if something isn't copyrighted, patented, trademarked, etc.... people can argue about all day and then there is Fair Use and Safe Harbor and a number of counter arguments people make to alleged copyright..... and I am actually against the theory and logic behind at least certain elements of copyright, etc..... and that is not even to mention the experimental attempt at trying to apply copyright to the Internet as that is different.... the general public is dumb-down to even understand that copyright predates the Internet..... and the very nature of how the Internet functions with how data moves around so much like water, with how the 4th amendment (which is privacy which is interconnected to copyright, etc) is violated in a series of ways..... with a wide variety of all these moving parts in Internet where data is often stolen without consent already by governments, corporations, NSA, different agencies, so many different computer servers...... it is a jungle..... and in conclusion, yeah, memes run around all day back and forth all over the place on top of that, and I love it.
