Topic: [2016-07-17] EUIPO Finds Bitcoin Hinders Anti-piracy Efforts (Read 358 times)
I am beginning to think that for cryptocurrencies to become mainstream, the cloak has to come off. I mean people have to identify themselves or else it will generally be viewed as a currency used by guys who have something to hide.
The recent report by the EUIPO seems to feel differently, as they paint a picture of business models used to illegally exploit intellectual property. Some content providers who stream movies, tv shows, and music over the Internet, charge a subscription fee for doing so. That subscription can be paid for in Bitcoin, so there is some correlation there.
