Talk:Chris and copyright

Some hints

Great topic to cover, and undoubtedly interesting. (Especially for me, since I'm interested of intellectual property issues...)

Anyway, I wrote a random rambling analysis of Chris's copyright and ToU pages while I was high on caffeine, sugar and Halo 3. I don't know how useful it is, but should serve as inspiration to whoever wants to expand the article. I'll tackle this article too once I get a few more doses of the three aforementioned products. --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 19:25, 30 September 2009 (CEST)

Parody

Parody and this seem to cover pretty much the same thing (How Sonichu is impossible, wouldn't hold up in court, etc). So should we shrink down the info parody and move it here? (why do I have such a boner for merging articles?) --Jump 23:29, 30 September 2009 (CEST)

Merge sounds good. Chris's lack of clue about intellectual property runs much deeper than just "parody", but the talk about his "parody" confusions wouldn't really warrant a separate article. So let's just put it all in this article, shall we? --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 23:34, 30 September 2009 (CEST)

I guess so. While I do think the page is fine as it is, a merge does sound good. --EdtheHedgehog1894

• I think the Parody page kinda became a "Chris and copyright" article, so might as well have one with a proper general focus on copyright. --Champthom 02:15, 1 October 2009 (CEST)

Perhaps. --EdtheHedgehog1894

• Chris seems to use the terms parody and copyright in two different manners. It's a parody when someone accuses him of stealing and it's copyrighted OC when someone parodies his creations. Therefore I think that two seperate pages cover the subject better. --Hayate666 10:58, 8 October 2009 (CEST)
• Parody covers why Sonichu can't be a parody, while Copyright covers how little Chris understands copyright law. They need tidying, but they can exist separately. The 'Chris' Views' section too closely resembles Parody, I think. --OFSheep 20:51, 17 October 2009 (CEST)

House vids

My memory is a bit hazy, but I remember someone mentioning somewhere that Chris (or his parents) had filed DMCA complaints on the house videos to take them down. Real or malarkey? --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 13:30, 2 October 2009 (CEST)

• It happened but I'm guessing it's the work of some troll and not actually Chris. If Chris actually knew how DMCA worked, he'd do the same with TheCWCvilleLibrary and have the entire archive shut down by filing copyright claims. --Champthom 18:26, 2 October 2009 (CEST)
