Craig Wright won a small procedural legal victory. A London court allowed him to file a copyright infringement lawsuit against the publisher bitcoin.org, known as Cobra.
The London High Court has approved a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by self-proclaimed “Bitcoin creator” Craig Wright against the operator and publisher of the bitcoin.org website under the pseudonym Cobra. The respondent will be notified via Twitter or email as Cobra is not a recognized UK resident.
This move is mostly procedural and does not address any copyright issues in the Bitcoin White Paper that have become the subject of the controversy. Cobra “will not release name, identity or address,” according to court documents released this week. However, the publisher bitcoin.org wrotethat, if necessary, he is ready to reveal his identity to protect the White Paper of Bitcoin – the most important book of the 21st century.
Wright claims the copyright for the Bitcoin White Paper, claiming that he is the anonymous creator of the Satoshi Nakamoto cryptocurrency. In this regard, Wright accuses the publisher of bitcoin.org of copyright infringement and publication of the Bitcoin White Paper without his consent. At the beginning of the year, lawyers of the law firm Ontier sent a letter to the administrator of the bitcoin.org website demanding that the Bitcoin White Paper be removed from the platform, but Cobra refused to do so.
Shortly thereafter, several companies and organizations – Square Crypto, Paradigm, Coin Center, and Novi – decided to post the Bitcoin White Paper on their websites in solidarity. Despite Wright’s numerous claims that it was he who created Bitcoin, the entrepreneur has so far failed to provide conclusive evidence for this claim.
In February, Wright sued the developers of Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Cash, demanding to return him access to two wallets, one of which is associated with the hacking of the MtGox exchange. In April, the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) also sued Wright, demanding that his claims of the Bitcoin White Paper be declared false.
