Game Theory: The HORROR That Threatens SCP

is beloved my many, whether it's through the SCP Foundation and community or the games like SCP Containment Breach and SCP Blackout. They've landed in some trouble recently, with a person taking their Russian trademark. You see, that person has been on a mission to, seemingly, take down all the SCP over there. Why? No one is quite sure. Today, I want to focus on the LEGALITY of what is happening, Should this person be able to get the SCP copyright? What power does he have? What does it mean for the beloved SCP? Let's dive in!

As someone who recently got into the SCP universe, donated to the legal fund, AND is aspiring to get an SCP published on the site one day, this video was very important to me. I thought SCP was just a gimmicky horror game just a few years ago, but now I've seen it is something much bigger and worth protecting.

Thank you for bringing more attention to this MatPat, it means a lot to know we can still win legally. (I mean without having to mail the russian a 096 mugshot)

[Greideren]

Unfun fact about the guy who bought the trade mark for SCP: He made a tweet saying how the fact that a bunch of people are fighting against him makes him feel powerful and like a villain and that makes him feel good.
That dude never got a hug when he was a kid and now we gotta pay the price for his stupidity

[xaleypoo]

When all this is said and done and SCP wins, someone needs to write a POI file about this guy.

I'd love to see Matpat as a lawyer. He'd probably be able to convince the jury that the sky isn't blue, but was actually a really toned done shade of white.

SCP-[REDACTED]
Object Class: Keter
The lawyers, as it is known by the foundation, are a group of humanoids that appear to be human lawyers. The SCP is currently not in the foundation’s custody, and it is considered top priority to contain them.

Anyone freaking out, don’t worry SCP foundation group won the lawsuit

[HthWarrior]

Mat-Pat: *Gets into SCP*

Me: “Oh, you’re doing SCP? Name every [REDACTED].”

[Gameknight]

Matpat: *subtly suggests a new name and logo if it comes down to it*

Russian SCP readers: "Write that down, write that down!"

[emberkitsune]

Just so you know, the Foundation has successfully contained the threat of the Russian guy, the O5 Council negotiated the trademark laws, and the wiki completely shut down in Russia. Absolute win.

[stickylungs]

Something truly good: **exists**

Some bad people: not on my watch

Me alone at 3AM:
Coughs
Scp-049 Kicking down the door:
*P E S T I L E N C E*

[collinbrooks]

I love how In a lot of cases, MatPat has better reasoning than the judges in the story

[JJFBlaster]

This video needs to be revived right now. This might be what's happening to a lot of copyright issues that Twitter is on fire for

[Dile]

Someone: “ I stole Vsauce's name ”

Vsauce: “ You did! Or maybe not... First of, what is a name? According to the dictionary, a name is... ”

[giokazephyn]

“He’s not breaking Tradmark law, he’s breaking copyright law” This is like how they busted Al Capone for evading taxes.

[islandsicedtea]

“If Tim Burton created Pokemon” is THE BEST description of SCP i’ve ever heard

[ashemarlow]

I feel like this video was half MatPat talking about cool monsters and half MatPat throwing shade at the legal system and you know what I'm here for it

[aeinzalot]

“The HORROR that threatens SCP”

SCP Foundation: *God dammit, again?*

[petermarsella]

"why are you in jail?"
"Murder, you?"
"Breached copyright laws of a creative commons brand in an attempt to shut down other russian branches of said brand"

[sillyhumanoid]

Somone: * does this *
Me: *Release the lizard*
