MaltaDaily möchte, dass gefälschte Beiträge entfernt werden, damit die Leute glauben, dass sie echt sind?? Wirklich?

Is anyone familiar with Malta’s parody laws?

Ifhem you can’t really use other companies’ logos and brand hux. Ovja

I kinda doubt it still falls under paraody law if you just copy their branding 100% but I’m not a lawyer. Would be curious to know if I am wrong actually.

Parody relates to content, not source. Yours is misattributing source, and misleading people into believing that this content by them. Basically, everything they told you. They are right.

Also parody has to be clear that it is parody. The content itself… well I’m not sure though it is perhaps far-fetched enough. But the website address is not parody. It’s like a meta-parody where the joke is provenance itself, but how would people know that? Perhaps it truly is a joke post by whoever you are claiming it to be. And that definitely does not fall under any parody law.

Who in their right mind believes this. It’s fake.
