Copyright Registrations Do Not Recognize Craig Wright as Satoshi Nakamoto

If he really is ( there is no chance he is ) he could prove it with few simple steps .

the transactions was signed, but not sent, the private keys was then destroyed. Sending will be in January 2020 as soon as access to the Fund in which these transactions are stored is obtained

So the copyright office is the final door standing between Craig Wright and his true motives in the industry? Isn't really that obvious that for a long time now we don't know the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto and then 10 uears after suddenly wants to obtain a copyright protection just because he is recognized to be that man? Why did a man who is hiding his identity for more than a decade now will be interested in claiming a copyright protection for his whitepaper?

Satoshi is a group of three: Dave Kleiman, Hal Finney and Craig Wright. The first two have already left our world, so the alias Satoshi now belongs only to Craig Wright on a completely legal basis

Copyright registrations for the Bitcoin white paper and the bitcoin (BTC) source code by the United States Copyright Office do not mean that Australian computer scientist Craig Wright is recognized as Satoshi Nakamoto by the government, the Financial Times reported on May 22.

The development follows news that Wright filed copyright registrations for the Bitcoin white paper authored under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. A news release from May 21 claims that U.S. officials received confirmation that Wright is indeed Satoshi Nakamoto, but the news has been met with skepticism from the crypto community.

A spokesman for Wright told the Financial Times that “the registrations issued by the U.S. Copyright Office recognize Wright as the author — under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto — of both the white paper and code,” claiming the Office to be the first government agency that recognizes Wright as the creator of the leading digital currency.

However, the claim has no basis in reality as when the Copyright Office receives an application for registration, it does not investigate the truth of any statement made in that application, nor the identities of people registering for copyright. The Office told the Financial Times:

“In a case in which a work is registered under a pseudonym, the Copyright Office does not investigate whether there is a provable connection between the claimant and the pseudonymous author.”

Moreover, the registering the source code does not protect the intellectual property of bitcoin as an invention.

The Copyright Office can cancel a registration application if it is certain that presented information is a false claim and the person claiming to be the author of a work is in actual fact not who they claim they are.

Recently, a scandal around bitcoin SV (BSV) — the altcoin backed by Wright —  placed Wright  at the center of international attention when cryptocurrency exchanges began delisting the coin amid Wright’s campaign to deanonymize one of his critics, so called Hodlonaut.

Hodlonaut targeted the Australian businessman with offensive tweets, calling him “a very sad and pathetic scammer. Clearly mentally ill,” and allegedly participated in creating the #CraigWrightIsAFraud hashtag.

If they are doing research and have read the many negative write-ups about Wright I'm 100% sure they will reject the application, they should instruct Wright to sign any of the address associated with the real Nakamoto, to prove that he is the real creator of Bitcoin and not an impostor.

WE all know he is not satoshi. but there is a record currently that shows his name sat beside the name satoshi on a government database. scammers use these flimsy records as a tool to scam

read the green. the C.O do not investigate.
it means some american guy has to pay the minimum $35 fee to re-file new names to cancel out craigs name. OR go to court to prove it.

but while nothing is done. craig can use that flimsy record as a foot in the door way to scam people

it seems that straightforward weight has a specific purpose when they dare to claim bitcoin as one of the main goals for their copyright. this is really funny when a large bitcoin becomes claimed by an irresponsible party and this is sure to have a specific goal with increasing crypto. this became the material of the community's question, especially the straight-weighted method, to use the name satoshi nakamoto, this was completely absurd.

[Slow death]

Most people do not believe in faketoshi, faketoshi does not have any power to influence the community, every action he does only destroys what little reputation he have. faketoshi is a big shame and disappointment for the crypto world.

This Craig guy is mentally unstable...

crazy people for power and attention are equal to faketoshi

he is a fraud.

He is the greatest shame in the crypto world.

[pawanjain]

Another one of failed attempts by Craig Wright to announce himself as the creator of bitcoin. I wonder why is he so desperate to claim Satoshi's  identity.
Could he be more Faketoshi ? LOL. It's high time for him to stop trying being somebody else and trying being himself. "May" be that will set up his image right.
Anyway, although it create a FUD, now it has set a clarity in people's mind and that they should not believe such FUDs so soon.

That makes sense. The Copyright Office is not really concerned with who actually invented something. If it is unclear who is that person, then whoever is smart enough to come and declare authorship wins. At least until someone else disagrees and has ways of proving it. Unfortunately, though, copyright is still very important and with a guy like Craig having it, it can affect the market very significantly. Basically, Craig Wright is the one who has the right of commercializing Bitcoin and, possibly, blockchain as their inventor. It means that technically all of the projects that make money from it should pay him royalties. I don't think it holds for something created before the decision was ruled in his favor, but it probably will affect any future projects if Craig feels like acting on it.
