Coinye West - Don't f**k with this coin

Indeed this is a test for crypto.

Here's something interesting from the Cease & Desist letter:

page 2.

1. cease and desist from any and all use of the mark COINYE WEST and any versions of that mark including COINYE;

And then there's this part.

page 3.

If you fail to comply with these demands, we will notify the cryptocurrency community at large of your infringing actions and pursue all legal remedies against any business that accepts the purported COINYE WEST currency.  Specifically, Mr. West will pursue claims of contributory trademark infringement and contributory unfair competition, among others, against any entity that accepts or exchanges the COINYE WEST currency.

My question now is this: are mining pools "exchanging" the coins when they transfer them to a miners wallet?

An opinion from someone familiar with laws governing these types of issues would be great because the term "exchange" may not carry the same meaning in Trademark infringement suits that the average person might think that it means.

A quick example is New York States Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance 5th Degree a Felony (NYS P.L. 220.31)

S 220.31 Criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fifth degree.
  A person is guilty of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the
fifth degree when he knowingly and unlawfully sells a controlled

So if Bob hands his friend Joe a dime bag of coke and didn't accept any money or any thing else at all, did Bob "SELL" Joe cocaine?
YES!

Because the definition of sell in the New York State Penal Law states this.
substance. 220.00 Controlled substances; definitions.
  1. "Sell" means to sell, exchange, give or dispose of to another, or
to offer or agree to do the same.

So this what I mean by "EXCHANGE" -- what's the exact definition of it when it comes to Trademark Infringement?

I wish COINYE Devs the best of luck.

I have proof that COYE is a scamcoin. I work support for an exchange and this was sent via email about an hour ago to our support system.

We have a huge collection of Coinyecoin (COYE) Would you please put it on your exchange. Also would you be open to letting us list our sell orders first. We would be willing to split some profits with you.

So, because someone put a stupid comment out, the COYE coin is a scam?
I would be surprised if no exchange would add the coin within days to their exchange. Time will tell who's right!

Kanye can never take a joke. Can they even sue over this? It's not even using his name.

Yeah, Kanye definitely has no sense of humor... I'm sure he can sue for it because simply because he has the financial ability to pursue it as far as it needs to go.

Use of name,
Use of image,
Claiming support from Kanye,
TELLING PPL THEY CAN BUY CONCERT TICKETS WITH IT. <--- Pure Fraud.

Bad attempt at pump and dump scheme over the back of a "popicon" by a little music company.
Dev deserves to be sued with this coin in it's current state.
