<p>Bad news for cat meme enthusiasts: turns out the people who invented both Keyboard Cat and Nyan Cat are pretty hardcore about protecting their "intellectual" property. Geek.com <a href="http://www.geek.com/games/internet-cat-meme-creators-sue-scribblenauts-will-seek-justice-in-nyan-court-1553984/">reports</a> that both creators are suing the puzzle action game Scribblenauts for not getting permission to appropriate their respective cats' likenesses before putting them in the game.</p>
<p><!--more-->Keyboard Cat's Charles Schmidt and Nyan Cat's Christopher Orlando Torres <a href="http://www.iptrademarkattorney.com/2013/04/los-angeles-copyright-trademark-sue-attorney-keyboard-cat-nyan-cat-meme-viral-videos.html">filed</a> a suit against Scribblenauts and its owners 5th Cell Media and Warner Bros. for using the characters "without any licenses or authorizations" in the 2009-2012 versions of the game, as well as employing them to promote Scribblenauts. Both Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Torres have copyrights on their respective memes, because douchiness.</p>
<p>In other news, who wants to scuba down to the bottom of the ocean and cut the Internet cable for good?</p>
