Infowars to pay Pepe the Frog creator in copyright settlement

Right-wing conspiracy website Infowars paid the creator of the internet meme Pepe the Frog $15,000 in a settlement for using its likeness on a poster it was selling.

Infowars, headed by Alex Jones, had featured the frog in posters alongside figures like Roger Stone, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Diamond and Silk. The company made about $14,000 off of sales of such posters and agreed to pay that back to Pepe’s creator, Matt Furie, after he filed a copyright lawsuit.
