Today, US Copyright Office released a [press update about Craig Steven Wright's claim that he is Satoshi](https://www.copyright.gov/press-media-info/press-updates.html?loclr=twcop). The update starts by stating that the copyright office doesn't validate the claims made in a copyright registration.

> "As a general rule, when the Copyright Office receives an application for registration, the claimant certifies as to the truth of the statements made in the submitted materials. The Copyright Office does not investigate the truth of any statement made.

The update further stated that if it is found that a claimant is "intentionally including false information in an application", he may be subject to penalties.

> A registration represents a claim to an interest in a work protected by copyright law, not a determination of the truth of the claims therein. It is possible for multiple, adverse claims to be registered at the Copyright Office. The Copyright Office does not have an opposition procedure for copyright registrations, such as the procedures available at the Patent and Trademark Office for patents and trademark registrations. Disputes over the claims in a registration may be heard before federal courts, including disputes over authorship of a work. Someone who intentionally includes false information in an application may be subject to penalties."

The main point of this update is that the US Copyright Office denying that he have confirmed Wright is Satoshi. And, we all know he is a fraud.
