If I understand you correctly: it's not that this is a law against memes.
Rather, blocking memes is one of the unintended effects that the new law would
have, for the reason you said.

"War on memes" is a catchy nickname, the same way the Patriot act is not
really about patriotism.

Honestly, blocking memes would be the only good result of this law. I can’t
wait to see social networks cleaned of that crap.

Who had the idea.

Because afaik movie and music creators are already winning the piracy war
right?

It's laughable to state that such a war is unwinnable.

Totalitarianism is a historic precedent which demonstrates the possibility of
propaganda supremacy.

It's only impossible to win a fight like this, if one refuses to do harm to
those who engage in the behavior being controlled. Make an example of a few
people, and wow, look at how quiet it gets.
