So when eBay starts using this to take down Bitcoin exchanges, is Bitcoin Foundation going to:
1) Use all those donations it got to fund legal challenges to get the patent overturned, or,
2) Urge every Bitcoin business to start paying to license the patent from eBay
C. IDK what my bf will do, but I would wallpaper my apartment with C&D letters and stay distributed. 1) Use all those donations it got to fund legal challenges to get the patent overturned, or,
2) Urge every Bitcoin business to start paying to license the patent from eBay

Who knows what this patent actually covers, it melts the mind trying to read this stuff.
From https://www.google.com/patents/US20130173416
For example, claim 18:
18. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 17, wherein the operation further comprise:
determining whether the code is valid; and
providing access to the digital version of the analog good based on the code being valid.
Something to do with digital versions of analog goods.
