Raising Money
As of today I would like to announce that I am raising money for the "Greg Burnett Copyright Application Fund."
You can know that your donation of loose change or perhaps a few 8-balls will help fund the forthcoming project to submit and obtain a right to use copyright for the phrase "Crack Smoking Donkey Fucker." Given a $355 application fee in addition to the potential need for a patent/copyright lawyer to help seek these rights I am asking the community for its support by rendering service to one of the greatest insult phrases ever taken from the halls of ASVS and transferred here.
Thank you all for your kind support.

I'll donate to that cause if you promise to match a donation to the "Matt wants to get Really Drunk" fund.

Well, anything you write is, by default, copywritten. Registering it just helps out in court if someone else claims to hold the copyright to something that you've done. I think what you're looking for is a trademark, not a copyright. Copyrights, trademarks and patents often get mixed up.

Yes indeed, I went back and double checked. What the application is for is a Trademark, not a registered trademark but at least a trademark, on a given phrase.Drooling Iguana wrote:Well, anything you write is, by default, copywritten.

The thing is, trademarks have to be aggressively defended, so unledd you're commited to going out and sueing everyone who uses the phrase "Crack Smoking Donkey Fucker" you'll lose the trademark.
