"If you want to contribute to http://bitcoin.org's legal defence against's CSW's copyright claims over the whitepaper and alleged ownership of the domain." https://twitter.com/CobraBitcoin/status/1352231172210876416?s=20
Probably the best allocation of productivity: Cobra seems much more interested than others in a legal fight over something that is at this point mostly symbolic. 😂
@pox That's why I said it's mostly symbolic _at this point_. Taking down the very clearly MIT licensed code - or trying to stop use of the Bitcoin name - would be much harder legally. I won't be surprised if CSW tries. But we'll see.
@pox ...and to be clear, I do not think attempting to stop people from calling it "Bitcoin" is symbolic. That has clear implications re: fraud. Exactly why trademark law exists in the first place.
already 12 BTC received. I'll be doing my part. I don't see this as anything purely symbolic. tomorrow CSW will send a cease and desist for the published binaries in bitcoincore.org and those will be taken down as well, or demand a redirect to bitcoin.com
why the hell shouldn't he?
devs should feel they're well funded against these legal harassment.
