Faketoshi CSW vs Cøbra Bitcoin

[dkbit98]

Faketoshi is back with new crazy legal stuff.

Craig Wright lawyers accused websites bitcoin.org and bitcoincore.org for copyright infringement, and they claim CSW is the real Satoshi Nakamoto and that he owns Bitcoin whitepaper and domain bitcoin.org!
They say CSW decided it is time to enforce copyright rights 

Cøbra from Bitcoin.org said that Bitcoin was released under MIT license and can be freely distributed.

Yesterday both Bitcoin.org and Bitcoincore.org received allegations of copyright infringement of the Bitcoin whitepaper by lawyers representing Craig Steven Wright. In this letter, they claim Craig owns the copyright to the paper, the Bitcoin name, and ownership of bitcoin.org. They also claim he is Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, and the original owner of bitcoin.org. Bitcoin.org and Bitcoincore.org were both asked to take down the whitepaper. We believe these claims are without merit, and refuse to do so.

Unfortunately, without consulting us, Bitcoin Core developers scrambled to remove the Bitcoin whitepaper from bitcoincore.org, in response to these allegations of copyright infringement, lending credence to these false claims. The Bitcoin Core website was modified to remove references to the whitepaper, their local copy of the whitepaper PDF was deleted, and with less than 2 hours of public review, this change was merged. By surrendering in this way, the Bitcoin Core project has lent ammunition to Bitcoin’s enemies, engaged in self-censorship, and compromised its integrity. This surrender will no doubt be weaponized to make new false claims, like that the Bitcoin Core developers “know” CSW to be Satoshi Nakamoto and this is why they acted in this way.

The Bitcoin whitepaper was included in the original Bitcoin project files with the project clearly published under the MIT license by Satoshi Nakamoto. We believe there is no doubt we have the legal right to host the Bitcoin whitepaper. Furthermore, Satoshi Nakamoto has a known PGP public key, therefore it is cryptographically possible for someone to verify themselves to be Satoshi Nakamoto. Unfortunately, Craig has been unable to do this.

We will continue hosting the Bitcoin whitepaper and won’t be silenced or intimidated. Others hosting the whitepaper should follow our lead in resisting these false allegations.

Lol! CSW is leaving no stones unturned in proving himself as the real Satoshi! Sometimes I wonder, what he will gain if we all agree that he is Satoshi? He doesn't have the key to original Satoshi's addresses so he can't take over the coins! What else could be the reason!

If he has the keys to take over the coins he could have done that already. But it is clear that he doesn't have access to all such stuffs. He is probably just trying to seek more attention so that he can promote his own coin!

It's true ...

Some proof that Bitcoin.pdf is MIT licensed.

In March 2009, nakamoto2 added the bitcoin.pdf file with License: MIT License to Sourceforge.

This guy do really need some attention. what he's trying to prove out? All of us in the community know that he's isnt satoshi and now he's trying to fight about copywright claim on thing that he dont actually own?

This man have no shame and just continuing to look himself funny in the public on claiming things which are obviously a full of shit. When this guy will ever stop?

[dkbit98]

I think CSW is just a part of bigger picture attack on Bitcoin, and even if everyone knows he is not the real Satoshi, he can be used in future for various manipulations.

Many websites, including Jameson Lopp website posted Bitcoin whitepaper on their website after this action from CSW lawyers:

I've hosted the Bitcoin whitepaper for years. I eagerly await my lawsuit. The fraud who does not deserve to be named can't sue us all.

https://twitter.com/lopp/status/1352198321813803010

MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor posted Bitcoin whitepaper on his websites, Square Crypto, SkyBridge Capital. Blockstream, Fidelity Digital Assets uploaded whitepaper and many other websites.

This is the right attitude

Now, this is a strong move against a clown and a fraud in this community, next thing should be (and hoping) crypto exchanges hosting bitcoin whitepaper and delist this shitcoin make this fraud cry.

The code is under MIT

that's it

eg LTC copy and use that - don't use 'Bitcoin' / Whitepaper seems to be good


- Copyright and more : Nothing granted

This has nothing to do with the Bitcoin community.

He is making a point to BSV community -- that's his audience. Every one of these public maneuvers is intended to trick them into buying more BSV. There is no other explanation that makes sense.

Anyone possessing just a handful of brain cells can see there is no legal case to be made on this issue.

[In the silence]

With further proof of documents and license, one cannot claim that he was the owner of something when the subject is stated as it can freely distributed.Just like how bitcoin should be, it cannot be govern by someone, a group of people, by government, or even the wealthiest people. Claiming that CSW is the real satoshi is an illogical statement.

[dkbit98]

He is making a point to BSV community -- that's his audience.

CSW is now making threats and saying he will burn cryptocurrency to non existence and if he dies there is 5 billion USD fund dedicated to destroy anyone who considers BTC as the real Bitcoin.
He is banned from twitter so I think he is using some of his own eco chamber media for self proclamations, but he sounds more and more like a Joker from Batman movie.

What's next on CSW schedule? Is he going to sue government of Estonia and Colombia now?
Both countries uploaded Bitcoin whitepaper on their official government websites.

Looks like CSW Faketoshi will have to sue City of Miami and government for hosting Bitcoin Whitepaper on their official website.
Watch out Miami... Faketoshi is coming for you, watch ya gonna do, watch ya gonna do when he comes for you?

I don't see any way in which Faketoshi could win this. There's literally no way for him to prove that he's the owner of the Bitcoin WP.

What can he do? Sue people hoping that they'll be afraid because they could be summoned to court? This won't work and he knows it.

It's going to be so much fun when he finally runs out of money and ends up in some psych ward.

I only see this as no use for him but trying hard just to take the attention and wants to fool some of the people who don't have any idea who he really is.

We're in the bull market and he needs some boost for his BSV that doesn't move ever since we've entered into bitcoin's bull run.

if the law can't be fair then kidnapping this con man (Craig) is the best option "lol"

I think prison is to easy for Faketoshi and they can't put insane man there but some madhouse would be much better place for him.

He is now demanding from Bitcoin developers to give him access for stolen Mt.Gox coins that they have no access for, but he is not suing only BTC developers but everyone else including his own bsv devs.

I fully support campaign for delisting his crap from all exchanges, and I think something like that started with OKcoin exchange few days ago.

Cobra just received a new letter from CSW lawyers and proceedings started because he is still refusing to remove Bitcoin whitepaper from bitcoin.org website and he didn't reply and provided his full name and postal address.
Crazy man has started going for bitcoin developers and their families saying that most of them will fold... so the only question is who will be his next target?
Maybe regular people and anyone who uses Bitcoin...
