That's great and all, but you are completely missing the point.

The point is that anyone who wishes to can fill in a form for a copyright claim, and it will be registered, as was done so by a random dude called Ronald 3 years ago. Everyone in this forum could fill in the form and we would all have bitcoin registered as our own. It means nothing.

The "Date of Creation" and "Date of Publication" that you are circling are irrelevant. There is a box (3a and 3b) on the form you submit (viewable here: https://www.copyright.gov/forms/formtx.pdf) which the claimant fills in the year of creation and publication. Those entries you have circled simply mimic whatever was entered in those boxes. They says nothing about those data being truthful or verified.

The entire stunt, just like everything to do with CSW, is pathetically laughable.

I thought if I will just point it out with red circles it will be enough for you to see the difference(beside the Title of the claim itself) - the example you provided was just registered, while the example with CSW has this text:

Quote

Regarding copyright claimant: Change made to record on 5/20/2019

And to be even more specific than that - this line specifically means it was approved by US Government Copyright Office and if you still want to indicate that anyone can claim anything and get registered by US G.C.O. I will point to the example you provided, it has passed to the US G.C.O and that is it, it does not have the response from authority, no "Regarding copyright claimant:".

I hope it is clear enough for you know.
