Listed Punishments for Violating Israel's Holocaust™ Copyright

published by Greg Bacon on Fri, 2007-12-21 13:06

Holocaust™ copyright has been deified by the Jewish law of Halacha and violators will face sanctions from our representatives in the IOF, MOSSAD, Shin Bet or other state security services.

For those living overseas, who violate the Holocaust™ copyright, they will receive a visit from several of our agents in the middle of the night. As we tend to use machine guns and grenades when bursting in, unannounced, to homes at 3 a.m., we are not responsible for any and all of your family members who either get shot or blown to pieces in these extrajudicial actions.

Those living in the Middle East, who violate the Holocaust™ copyright, will receive an American made “smart bomb”, delivered by an American made F-16. This delivery usually will happen around supper time, when members of your family and maybe some friends are at your house.
This guarantees the biggest bang for our American buck.

Our Rabbis have told us that we are not responsible for any extraneous GOYIM deaths associated with our enforcement of the Holocaust™ copyright.

At times and at our discretion, we may apply less stringent forms of repercussions, such as causing the transgressor to lose their job. Or, causing the blasphemer to suffer the wrath of our well organized Lobby that has managed to permeate every layer of American and European society with tales of our Holocaust™ fantasies

This form of punishment can include but is not limited to getting one incarcerated for a period of time for the horrible crime of asking questions about the Holocaust™.

Signed, Yours Truly

That great lover of peace and the ONLY friend the USA has in the Middle East

but there's a technical problem.

You have it partially right - the Holocaust is used as a trademark - but, a trademark is a completely different animal from copyrighted work.

Copyrights are limited exclusive ownerships - something like 99 years or the life of the author plus 70 years.

Trademarks on the other hand are exclusive ownership rights to a trade name for a product or service that extends in perpetuity.

If you want to refer to that you would say Holocaust ® Trademark - where ® indicates that it's registered at the USPTO, meaning exclusivity is enforced across the nation.

But, of course, theirs must also be registered with the global equivalent of the USPTO (perhaps WIPO or its administrative body) because exclusivity is enforced around the globe.

I think the average person would not note the distinction, but there is an important legal difference.

Let me first say that this is a good point Mr. Bacon is making, and the metaphor, be it copyright or trademark is apt.

As QRS pointed out, Copyright protects "original works":

Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States (title 17, U. S. Code) to the authors of “original works of authorship,” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works.

Trademark protects identity.
From Wikipedia:

A trademark or trade mark is a distinctive sign or indicator of some kind which is used by an individual, business organization or other legal entity to uniquely identify the source of its products and/or services to consumers, and to distinguish its products or services from those of other entities.

I agree with QRS, (and with Mr. Bacon, since he used the TM symbol) that trademark is really being implicated here. The word "holocaust" would be a Trademarked name that was used to set off the alleged WWII genocide of Jews from other genocides. The actual narrative story of the "holocaust" could be written down and that particular version could have a copyright. Generally, historical narratives cannot have a copyright, only an individuals expression of it. An original story can get a copyright, but as you get closer to general ideas, they are more difficult to protect. Copyright protects works, not ideas.

Of course, an original work could also have an original name and therefore qualify for a trademark and a copyright. "Star Wars" would be a good example of this. The movie has a copyright, but the name also probably has a trademark. Maybe that would be the best case here. Assuming Mr. Bacon sees the holocaust to be a work of fiction, then the official narrative could have a copyright, and the name could have a trademark. Those who infringed on these would suffer the legal consequences that Mr. Bacon refers to above.
