You mean fair use, and not necessarily. Also "fair use" is not a law in the U.K.

- dylan604 5y agoWorks used for satirical work are allowed. Seems like what these are being used for.
- detaro 5y agoParody is fair use. Satire usually isn't. And I'd doubt most use of e.g. posting gifs on social media in response to something counts as "satire".
- Doctor_Fegg 5y agoAnd as the ancestor comment pointed out, there's no such thing as "fair use" in the UK. There is a very distinct concept of "fair dealing".
- detaro 5y agoTrue, on quick search the UK indeed doesn't make that distinction as obviously, thanks for the correction. So only the second part of my comment applies.
