The fact that Herge' has his Tintin copyrighted (Yes, he went through 
the motions of having the bureaucrats actually sign a paper that says something
like:
"Chamber of commerce ...blah blah... register "Tintin" being a cartoon 
...loadsa blah blah... owned by Herge' ...blah blah blah...reproduction
 of material ...blah... use of characters ..blah blah... without permission 
of abovementioned ...blah blah... prohibited and punishable ...blah blah...",
signed by some bigwig. ) doesn't automaticly validize any cartoon with some 
(c) under it, so your 'look in your newspaper' kind of missed the bull.

Show me that piece of paper.
( And the proof that the autograph under it is by that 'some bigwig' ). 
As long as I haven't seen it I will NOT acknowledge your 'copyrights'
only the fact that you were the initial creator (assumed that's true)
of the 'Steins'.

So, either get your wallet out and have those 8 chars copyrighted...
( It can be done, Microsoft has had the 'Microsoft cursor' for quite a
while. )
Then you can throw the lawbook at people who use your 'Steins' (Which
you also should have TradeMark'ed(TM)...)

At this moment I'm even allowed to use the name 'Pete Casso' if I would want to.

So, there's your rights in a nutshell.
You have the right to remain silent, everything you say can and WILL be used
against you.

Sayonara!
