Talk:Red Letter CWC Certified Day

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.

He IS using the Pokémon name in his demented comic about animals fucking, though. Nintendo are known to throw cease and desist requests around fairly often, too. Klingerbgoode 02:41, 13 November 2009 (CET)

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)

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. Mrpayback 00:39, 13 November 2009 (CET)

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) - Needlepants 01:07, 13 November 2009 (CET)

• Red-letter day = a good day. In this case Chris has actually managed to not torture a figure of speech to death. Dkaien 01:13, 13 November 2009 (CET)

• And we'll be married in the month of May! Klingerbgoode 02:43, 13 November 2009 (CET)
• But a red letter day, in business, refers to a day in which you have loss, not profit. (it goes back to old bookkeeping, where losses where printed in red, profit in black... hence Black Friday being the day most stores start turning a profit for the year) I've never heard it used in a positive sense before now. - Needlepants 04:27, 13 November 2009 (CET)

This is the entry from the website linked over at the Chris and Copyright entry. Unless I'm mistaken, he MIGHT have copyrighted his webcomics, or at the very least, the pictures he's scanned! --Blazer 01:22, 13 November 2009 (CET)

Oh my God he is still wearing his shirt from the shooting of Liquid comic. How many days is this, now? Jesus, Chris. Hejji 02:40, 13 November 2009 (CET)
