There's something everyone here who thinks they have a copyright needs to know...

Copyrights won't protect characters. I did some looking into the subject, asking teachers and looking through some textbooks to make sure I was right in this... A Copyright only protects a piece of art, be it art made from paint, sound or words. Original characters aren't characterized by any of this...

However, characters are legally classified as ideas, and may be protected if one were to trademark them to their company as Sega has done for Sonic, but not by a Copyright.

Just thought I should clear that up...
