:lol no, opening your copyright envelope doesn't void your registration. The document he has is a notice of registration, and the state of Virginia also has a copy, in addition to a copy of whatever work he sent them. Also, there's the online verification. Whoever said that opening it voids it is getting actual copyright mixed up with the "poor man's copyright" method of mailing copyrighted material to yourself, which doesn't work anyway.

If Chris getting his copyright is such a great thing, and he's so pumped.... then why did he title the video "Red letter day"? (other than idiocy) - [[User:Needlepants|Needlepants]] 01:07, 13 November 2009 (CET) |

God I was hoping we wouldn't see Smug Chris so soon again. --Sack Thaddic 23:29, 12 November 2009 (CET)
- Ugh, tell me about it. Although I'm kind of pleased the Liquid/Kacey saga is coming to a close, it felt like it had overstayed its welcome a little. The content it ended up producing was less HAHAHA OH MY GOD and more JESUS FUCKING CHRIST CHRIS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ;_;. But anyway, the higher the pedestal, the further the fall. Let's hope another PVCC troll plan knocks Chris down a few notches once again. xontrolos 23:35, 12 November 2009 (CET)
- Pissed off, yelling chris is my favorite. --Dave 23:46, 12 November 2009 (CET)
"What Chris fails to realise is that he has only copyrighted the NAME."
Names are not copyrighted. You copyright concepts and works, you trademark names and logos (but can only register for those used in trade in 2 or more states). You technically have a copyright the moment you create something, but can register a copyright to make it easier to defend in court, as one of the Chrises has done here (idk which was responsible for it). --Mrpayback 17:49, 12 November 2009 (EST) oh god i am not good with wikis
- Fix the article then. I not good with law businesses. HURRY before it's too late!! xontrolos 23:52, 12 November 2009 (CET)
- I barely even know how to use a discussion page, bro. THIS IS TOO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY OH GOD Mrpayback 23:56, 12 November 2009 (CET)
- OK, don't worry, I've removed some of the offending terms. What is up currently ought to be more accurate. If I should make any more changes, please let me know. xontrolos 23:59, 12 November 2009 (CET)
- I don't think it's so much that his comics contain material that is already copyrighted as it is his 'invention' was copyrighted after Sonic was, is confusingly similar, and frequently depicts graphic sexual acts which Sega would not want associated with their intellectual property Mrpayback 00:15, 13 November 2009 (CET)

So, if he copyrighted the concept of "Sonic+Pikachu", is that something Nintendo and Sega would be able to shut down? Because I'm itching to send them a letter about this. BananaKid 23:57, 12 November 2009 (CET)
- Go right ahead. Several people have already attempted to get in contact with Nintendo and Sega, so the more the better. And it would be fantastic to see Sega, the company Chris has loved for so long, shit all over his face. xontrolos 23:59, 12 November 2009 (CET)
- Well uh, basically copyright infringement involves things that are confusingly similar, to the point where someone not familiar with the subject could easily mistake the infringing concept with the original. Also, it generally has to be in the same industry. Since there were Sonic the Hedgehog comics and Sonichu is indistinguishable from him aside from color, I guess you could make that case (though I don't think anyone could mistake Sonichu for Pikachu), but Sega would have to file it on their own. idk if it'd be treated as an international copyright violation, since the copyright (and trademarks) of Sonic are owned by Sega of Japan, but that would be hilarious since it immediately goes to federal court for that and costs everyone involved tons of money.

Since the rest of the videos have category templates at the bottomt of their pages, which one should go here? Chris's Other Videos, perhaps? xontrolos 00:07, 13 November 2009 (CET)
- It's quite specifically a Captain's Log entry, I've put that template in. --Sonicow 00:22, 13 November 2009 (CET)
- Oh shart, I missed that. My humblest apologies (but listening to Smug Chris IS hard). xontrolos 00:23, 13 November 2009 (CET)
Is that a 'tache I see clinging to his face? --Sonicow 00:15, 13 November 2009 (CET)
- Well, he doesn't have any particular reason to keep up appearances now that he's lost Kacey. I wouldn't be surprised. The Goatee of Fail might even return. xontrolos 00:19, 13 November 2009 (CET)
"it also should be noted that by opening the envelope, Chris made his registation null and void."
WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WHAT. I have only marginally more knowledge of copyright law than Chris. Is this for real?! Seriously? It just seems too bizarre to be true. xontrolos 00:37, 13 November 2009 (CET)
