COPA vs Faketoshi CSW

[dkbit98]

The Empire Strikes Back, and saga continues!

COPA or Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance (COPA) was founded last year with purpose of preserving preserving open-source around Bitcoin, and now they filled a lawsuit against nChain's Craig S. Wright,
better known as Faketoshi, for claiming copyright claims over Bitcoin white paper.

We know that Faketoshi first started with his bogus lawsuits against many Bitcoin developers and people who hosted or still hosting Bitcoin whitepaper on their website, including Square (who founded COPA btw)
but COPA responded and asked him to prove he is Satoshi Nakamoto, and that is something he can never do obviously.

Today, COPA initiated a lawsuit asking the UK High Court to declare that Mr. Craig Wright does not have copyright ownership over the Bitcoin White Paper. We stand in support of the Bitcoin developer community and the many others who've been threatened for hosting the White Paper.

So the ice was broken. Great news! And the price seems to love this news too 
As I've seen posted on twitter too: let's finally end this mess.
I'm curious how long will this lawsuit take and how many other will follow...

I hope the court system is able to deal with this case promptly, there seems to be far too much stolen content circulating online, just referring to the original producer takes so little effort. It usually affects small time content producers and charitable organizations the most when others try to take credit. It is one thing to share information but when you start claiming it as your own or even trying to make money from it - that really crosses the line into theft. The courts seem to be super busy right now because Covid put a lot of stuff on hold, however this will likely put a lot of fear into the defendant and might make him try to settle before an obvious loss in court.

It's good to see that people are willing to take the fight to him.  At the very least, it takes an amount of time which Faketoshi is unable to spend attacking others.  The injunction sounds promising.  Hope they get it.  Not sure what their chances are, but will keep my fingers crossed.

Let's see whether faketoshi have enough funds to hire lawyer and additional legal costs. Too bad he target someone who's powerful enough to initiate lawsuit, he should be satisfied by only targeting few individual.

He is not a poor man and I am sure he is crazy enough and ready to continue with this circus for a long time.

This is reply from CSW Faketoshi related with latest lawsuit against him from COPA:

“This is exactly what we have wanted to happen for some time and I am very pleased this body has agreed to stand up in court as I can now have my credentials judged legally,”
It will also give me the chance to highlight exactly why BTC is not Bitcoin as set out the White Paper the copyright of which will now, finally, be defined. It goes without saying that this has enormous ramifications for Coinbase, their IPO and the value thereof.”

And this is one more of his recent messages were he said he will bring nuclear Armageddon to crypto industry

TBH this wouldn't be an issue if the real author (which is Satoshi) would be coming out and claiming it, with this of course Craig Wright will be proven to infringe the rights of Satoshi itself. But of course this is something impossible as Satoshi would like to remain hidden until now that causes several people to claim his name. COPA need to go to the hard route instead and that is disproving Craigh Wright as Satoshi which I think previous lawsuits have proven that he is not. Lets just hope COPA for the best and hope that the judge will side with them just to discredit Craig Wright more.
