Morrissey vs. Memes: The Battle Over 'Malefactors' Post (2026)

Morrissey's legal team has reportedly taken action against a meme maker, MozPosting, demanding the removal of a satirical Instagram post. The post, which mimicked Morrissey's website, listed 'enemies' in a humorous and absurd manner, including characters from popular culture and celebrities. MozPosting, a self-proclaimed fan, expressed disappointment, stating that the page was intended as satire and never meant to cause harm. This incident comes amidst Morrissey's ongoing legal battles with online impersonators and raises questions about the boundaries of satire and the impact of legal threats on creative expression.
