With Craig Wrights disputed copyright claim on Bitcoin Whitepaper made in the the United States Copyright Office, he got many abusive response and still been able to pump his private currency upto 90%.
Now comes another one to challenge Craigs Claim,

A person called Wei Liu has filed for the copyright of Bitcoin Whitepaper.

https://www.coindesk.com/another-satoshi-second-copyright-filing-appears-for-bitcoin-white-paper

But absolutely anyone can file a claim right? that's established. It means nothing.
And wow, we need to get rid of these kind of actors(CSW primarily) from this space, looks like a playground from the outside world.
Good luck adoption.

Yes I've seen the news.This is another PR move by an unknown (at least to me) Chinese woman.The whole community is just having fun on who Satoshi is. Guys, I'm Satoshi!I'm thinking of applying tomorrow. ;D.

As far as I know, yes. And based on a Coindesk article last week, The "US Copyright Office Says It Does Not ‘Recognize’ Craig Wright as Satoshi": https://www.coindesk.com/us-copyright-office-says-it-does-not-recognize-craig-wright-as-satoshi

Wait til this Wei Liu guy forks BSV and names it Bitcoin Nakamoto's Vision.

Anyone please link me to the registration website. If not the third, I want at least to be the top 10 claimers of Bitcoin Whitepaper, I guess my name too would be written somewhere. And lets see how much is Craig Wright willing to go to save his fake claim. How many lawsuits would he claim before he realizes he's just being fooled.

This isn't new. It's only become big in the media recently because famous liar, scammer and all round fraud CSW has done it. Here's the record of someone called Ronald Keala KuaMaria, who registered copyright for the bitcoin whitepaper and claimed the pseudonym "Satoshi" 3 years ago:

As mentioned, anyone who is willing to fill in a form and pay a $35 dollar fee can register a copyright claim exactly as CSW did. The US Copyright Office even issues a press release clearly stating that these claims are not investigated, validated or verified in any way, and it does not mean that the claim is truthful or accurate.

The whole thing is complete nonsense.

The website you are looking for is here: https://www.copyright.gov/registration/. The required form to complete is this one: https://www.copyright.gov/forms/formtx.pdf.

So, Craig was not the number 1.
So it proves it all was a strategy to pump the fake Bitcoin SV coin. Though Mr. Craig was successful to some extent. He has destroyed his name forever. People used to consider him a fool and now they'd know him better as a liar.

It will become a meme and folks will file a claim just for fun or to piss off CW. I will do too if I know the link to do that. Spending some buck just for fun. What could cause several problem and fight is the brand Bitcoin, the WP author isn't so important
And yes everyone can file a claim and the funny thing is there is not really any background check. Everyone could say he did the WP.

Four have so far copyrighted Bitcoin

2011 MtGox, (Mark Karpelès).
2016 Ronald Keala Kua Maria
2019 Dr. Craig Wright
2019 Wei Liu

It is a criminal offense claiming copyright if not the original developer. Three or all four could possible have legal issues to deal with.

While it seems like something annoying that people try to obtain a copyright for Satoshi's work, now that Craig did it, it's actually good that someone else is objecting to that. Because if nobody does, then Craig officially has the rights for profits out of the inventions that are considered to be his. Moreover, if more people come by, there's a good chance it will piss off the authorities, and they will set very strict requirements like proving the ownership of Satoshi's bitcoins and will not let anyone sue others for copyright infringement until there's strong evidence supporting particular authorship.

I think I'm gonna have to file my copyrights too just so I won't miss the party these guys are having right now. But seriously this just shows how inefficent and incredible the US copyright office is. They can literally just handout the copyright to anything and earn that measly $35 for the paperworks. For sure, legal consultation + court proceedings in the event of a dispute is already anticipated by them, that's why they easily give the copyrights to literally anything without verifying the claims.

Kudos to Wei Liu anyway for making CSW look like a fool!

Indeed. And I wonder why people think that this is hot news. Anyone can claim it but we will never know who is the real.
And apart from that, is CSW claimed the copyrights why BSV is pumped and not BTC? He filed claims for BTC and not BSV. I truly believe that there are a lot of naive people in the market even after all this bear market.

LOL anyone could put up an act like that the only question is are they willing to degrade their own like Craig?
The crypto community would just laugh and have fun with this so self proclaimed Satoshi ,
If they really want to act please give us a more interesting act with a good acting tools or proofs.

the ronald registration has no mention or relevance to bitcoin.

"an equity based.." is nothing to do with it
so using ronald as an example is futile.

but the wei lin one is atleast relevant

what people need to know is in a court room. at a time of final judgement. CSW and wei lin would not win any case they got into if that case was defended.

BUT here is the issue

OUTSIDE a courtroom and before judgement or undefended. scammers like CSW can perform cease and desist scams on people with flimsy records with their name on.

these scams play out because scammers threaten large sums and make it so going to court is so expensive that the victims if naive pay a early settlement just to get the scammer to stop hassling them

much like them annoying malware that says pay up in 72 hours or have files deleted. you'd b surprised how many people pay up

And yet there's still plenty of BSV shills coming out of the woodworks claiming it's proof of something. At least now we can turn around and say, "Craig Wright is no more legitimate than Wei Liu."

I was hoping this stunt would tempt lots of other people to file similar copyright registrations, proving how silly the whole thing is. Maybe this is just the start. :)

He's probably trolling CSW to show that filing a claim means nothing and anybody can do it. It's strange that more people didn't do it if it's only 35$ and can buy you some personal promotion on crypto news sites like coindesk. This Liu paid a few dollars and now we're talking about him on bitcointalk. Worth every cent!
Maybe next week another "satoshi" will file a counterclaim.

It's easy for them to fake Satoshi for their own private coin's benefit but people now are aware of this dramas.
One person has done it and it's enough for most investors to notice who's lying and who's not.
I guess it would be better if we will just ignore them.

Sounds like more people are following the footsteps of Craig and that's insane. They are thinking that they will succeed through that strategy. Why don't they promote their own coins in their own ways? People will only hate them for doing such thing and might affect their coins as well.

What do you mean probably?

Wei Liu: “I filed it just to let people know anyone can register a copyright. Everyone can be Satoshi Nakamoto.”
Well you are wrong, only one person is Satoshi, everyone can pretend to be Satoshi. There was one Michael Jackson or Nikola Tesla, there was many impersonators or posers.

https://www.coindesk.com/everyone-can-be-satoshi-wei-liu-on-contesting-craig-wrights-copyright

I tried to find the reason of Wei Liu about such claim and thanks for sharing this link up.This do only proves out that anyone can be satoshi by paying up $35.
Only 4 people tried it so far and CW is the total bullshit of them all.

A criminal offence with a maximum $2500 fine.  $2500 + $55 vs how many millions from the BSV pump/dump?  Seems to me that Wright had a great ROI on his latest fraud.  ... even better if the US government never bothers prosecuting, AFAICT they never have before.

Great. I'd like to see more people file a copyright claim for the bitcoin whitepaper to drive the point that anyone could have registered for it. My view is that sooner or later the legal issues CSW is embroiled in will bring him down. You can only legally threaten people for so long before you begin to face consequences.

I think those guys at U.S. Copyright Office should start thinking about creating a team to investigate anything that is Copyright subject in case two or more people to claim ownership of the same thing. because they will have major headaches from now on, first was faketoshi, then a Chinese guy, more scammers will appear... it will be an endless cycle

This is getting interesting, now that Wei Liu did it first...this throws out Craig's claims of being Satoshi Nakamoto almost immediately, anyway let's see how this show goes, And if Craig is taking second place why does this not read "Satoshi steps out of the dark to claim whitepaper" or "bitcoin whitepaper copyright entanglement" unlike  https://www.coindesk.com/another-satoshi-second-copyright-filing-appears-for-bitcoin-white-paper

Yes, you just have to pay some amount of dollar and you can file the copyright claim. Now, the CSW claim is getting interesting now that there is someone claiming the same thing. Let's see what will be the next move of sir Craig Wright on this matter. Will this angered him so he can exposed his own vulnerabilities? Or will he realized that he is just being played on by someone named Wei Liu? 

No one will believe me, Steve Jobs are Satoshi Nakamoto, and all his copyrights has since been forgotten, CSW just stepping on it and want to inherit his legacy so badly.😂

We are definitely going to see more of this filing for the patent right. They all know they are not Satoshi, they equally know that Satoshi will never go to court to proof his identity, they actually want fame and want to be popular, before now, Craig Wright was not as popular as we have today, it's better to have a good name and be famous for the right course than claiming what is not yours.

These set of people are just making fun of crypto world and I think this need to put to an end , but it also show the CW that any one can file copy of right and if this continue then who is satashi will be the question .

I hope he get his right sense and stop misleading his follower for the sake of this ecosystem.

This is already turning into a melodramatic series. Soon among the people who claim to be Satoshi, intrigues and alliances against other Satoshi will begin. Game of thrones cheap format. Somehow it is pathetic and does not cause respect. If a person initially did not give his name and took a fictitious pseudonym, then why did he decide to reveal his name to the world? Probably because this is not this person. More HYIP baby more HYIP.

This system blows, like a lot, can we just start the bitcoin democracy voting thing yet, that would be cool. Everyone join the "faithless religion" and bitcoin society and we shall dominate the entire nebula. We will start with international waters here on earth, trust me we want to be on a boat for what is coming out in orbit would be a bit better for 6 hours.

anyways I am off to bed, goodnight team.

I'm sure he didn't mean it literally. What he's essentially saying is that everyone is just as much Satoshi as CSW is lol.

Considering how erratic CSW is being though, I would be surprised if he takes this lying down. It seems like he's already acknowledged it, but I'm expecting him to take it to court lol. Ready your popcorns!

Just wait until btc cross the $50k or $100k mark and oh boy! I'm ready to see a lot of clowns claiming they are the true creator of of the king of crypto. But honestly for me, I think the person will only have a higher chance of claiming that they are the real Satoshi is either living in US or Japan.

There is some generosity around this issue. I remembered the fake information related to Craig Wright - BSV and a century trick with a continuous scanner for over 50% of the added value. Perhaps, the community's expectations for Satoshi's appearance have been set up with many proactive plans. Satoshi is still a mystery so far and no one will recognize him if he doesn't want it.

As others has already stated, it will only cost the sum of $35 only for anyone to fill the copyright form and be eligible to join the struggle. But they are all going to face the reward at the end when the real Satoshi will be on ground. Most of these drama are for fame and nothing more. 

Exactly, it’s weird that a lot of people find it very interesting, I think this happened because a lot of people is wondering who is the real Satoshi and been trying to find him thus a lot will also come out filing claims. Well, naive people are always there whether we like it or not, I was just wondering as well what is it for us or them to know who the real Satoshi is? I just don’t think it will have any affect on the price of BTC whether he comes out or not, just saying.

Satoshi Nakamoto is a Japanese name, no? This guy claims to be from China where anti-Japanese sentiment in China is among the strongest in the world. He's contradicting himself, who the hell is this guy supposed to be anyway? A poser most likely, in a world overrun with selfishness and vanity, I expect more to come forward in an attempt to get their 15 minutes of fame also.
    The real Satoshi will most likely never come forward, he/she is clearly hidden in plain sight. Satoshi went out of his/her way to remain anonymous. I doubt he/she breaks the law of concealment. Those with the ears to hear will know!
  Just my two cents!

The Satoshi seems to have a good knowledge of English language both American and British and had a strong desire of making himself anonymous from the very beginning. This doesn't prove anything yet but it probably suggest Satoshi was learned in English language. And was fully aware where his experimental network could led into.

I want a claim too.  ;D

But the problem is how can I move 1 BTC to the wallet of satoshi.
That could be one good proof for me to have relevance to the claim of being Satoshi Nakamoto.

Yes, that is what they should do to finish this adventure of looking for Satoshi! Freaking get that wallet open and move just one bitcoin and Voila you are the real one. As of now, no one can do it.  ;D

That is what he should do, but he never will, because he can't. It's been obvious for a long time that CSW is a fraud, but it is now becoming so painfully obvious that you wonder why anyone at all is still shilling BSV. All these stupid publicity stunts - forging fake signatures, faking a backdated PGP key, faking blog posts, now filing a meaningless copyright application - all just add to the mountains of evidence that he is not only a fraud, but a technically incompetent one at that.

BSV could be a good coin but certainly CSW isn't. You can fool some for sometime but you can't live on a lie.
It would be no difficult for the real Satoshi Nakamoto to prove his identity if he really wanted to.
If he don't we should all respect his will to stay anonymous. I do believe there are several people who actually know who the real Satoshi is and they would speak in case he was dead.

Lol another one, it's a joke at this point, although faketoshi clearly achieved what he wanted and his bullshit coin was pumped. Clearly the guy who filed the copyright claim this time did so in order to mock Wright, perhaps Mcafee is right and Satoshi is alive and he knows who he is, although you can't be too sure of Mcafee's words.

I really can't understand what is the point and why some claim they are Satoshi. I wonder if they are so naive to think that someone will really believe them.
Satoshi has every right to hide the identity and not to reveal himself. But as long as he stays anonimous there will be such attempts.

Does anyone know Satoshi's true identity? Why does everyone recognize themselves as Satoshi and try to accept them as owners of Bitcoin? Why hasn't anyone given the source code that created Bitcoin as evidence to prove that they are its owners? Greed always tries to make people worse.

Hope you are aware that the source code is open for the world to see and how do you propose someone could provide that as evidence, anyone can file for copyright and if someone opposes and could provide evidence then they have to settle that in the court and only the real creator could provide the evidence what all he did with the original papers and the digital fingerprints could be used to prove that, till now i have not heard about anyone being prosecuted for providing false claims.

Precisely that's what makes Mcafee's words so powerful my friend. The thing is, we'll never know probably.

A guy so smart like Satoshi could pretend to be dead so easily and flawless that we wouldn't know for sure, revealing it to only some the truly trusts. And to be fair, with the experiences i had in this world in my not so many years of life people cannot be trusted. At the end that is his decision, not mine.

If someone knows, he might be between one of them. At the it's just conspiracy theories, the best way of keeping information safe.

Literally anyone can claim that they are Satoshi Nakamoto since there are no clues to dispute their claims such as the nationality, facial features, or even what blood type Satoshi Nakamoto is they can't really ignore this claimants. That's the bad thing about Satoshi Nakamoto being anonymous because he is so mysterious that anyone could step in and might be identified as Satoshi and with how our legal system works I know that even if don't have enough proof that he is Satoshi Nakamoto he could still be successful on claiming it.

That's not how the burden of proof works. If you make a claim like "I am Satoshi", the onus is on you to provide evidence to prove your claim. No one else is obligated to provide evidence to disprove your claim. I can't just go around saying to people "Prove I'm not Satoshi", just like I can't say to people "Prove I'm not Jesus".

Yes, literally anyone can claim they are Satoshi, but if, like CSW, they are not going to provide a single shred of legitimate evidence to support that claim, then they should all be rightly ignored.

And yet another one. A hundred Satoshi wannabes, yet none can sign proof, or, i don't know, login in this forum made by him/her...

Absolutely anyone can apply but all of them are actors because Satoshi Nakamoto will never announce who he is with Bitcoin's anonymity and he will never appear in public even though only once.

These guys are making fun of crypto users...
Everyone that awards importance to this s*it is opening the door for scam and for more and more statoshi comming on the future... nowadays, I think they are close to be enough for a football team....
just look at Craig personal Bitcoin... people buy it, value is good.... so time for another satoshi to try to grab a piece of the pie
