Muh Pepe!!!

 

Matt Furie, the creator of the popular frog, which has largely been coopted online by conservatives, sued InfoWars for copyright infringement over a poster it sold depicting Pepe the Frog with right-wing figures including President Trump, activist Milo Yiannopoulos and conspiracy theorist and InfoWars founder Alex Jones.

 

And Fitzgerald ruled in favor of InfoWars' request that he, and not a jury, should issue a summary judgment on Furie’s request for statutory damages and attorneys’ fees.

 

Furie filed the lawsuit against InfoWars last year. He has been successful in other legal fights over Pepe the Frog, which in recent years became associated with "alt-right" communities, particularly ahead of the 2016 election.
