Getting' GIFfy with it? The Olympic Ban on GIFs, a Copyright Issue
September 13, 2016 by Olivia McKenzie The International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) new rules ban viewers of the 2016 Rio Olympics from creating and sharing Graphic Interchange Format graphics (GIFs). The short videos, typically used as sources of comedic relief, are common on social media outlets like Tumblr and Twitter. Popular GIFs include one of U.S. Gymnast Laurie Hernandez being cheeky by winking at the judges during her floor routine. Among the most enduring is one of superstar swimmer Michael Phelps scowling at fellow swimmer Chad Le Clos as he prepares for the 200-meter butterfly semi-final.
Olivia McKenzie is an IPilogue Editor and a JD Candidate at Osgoode Hall Law School.
