Ironically copyright law seems to explicitly allow this under fair use for parody...
I totally understand that authors need to put food on the table, and economic rights are important. What I don't get is why we should worry that some author might be unhappy that their works end up in a meme. It seems to be the last thing we should worry about in the grand scheme of things.
