Someone sent me this thread. Just wanted to say thanks for making it.
My pleasure.
I’ve just donated - 64053a8b209089dc7a87ba8766ea645f77866dab40f352383a360a85c55374c7
It’s not much but let’s get this rolling guys.

This is the law firm that's running CSW's case https://uk.ontier.net/ Looks like a generic law firm without an Australian branch so the only way these guys would actually serve a litigation like this is if he has friends in there.
Just like all the guys writing for his CoinGeek operation.
It seems like his law firm bought the bait: https://www.ontier.net/ia/wright-v-cobra-ontier-press-release.pdf
Copyright means nothing for an asset that is legally licensed under the MIT license, so all Cobra's lawyers theoretically have to do to throw out the case is to point out that by placing the MIT license on it, he has forfeited "his" (blech!) rights to restrict the use of the whitepaper.
Then we wait out CSW's endless court cases until he runs out of BSV to finance them.

What I don't get about this particular lawsuit is how can someone even start a lawsuit concerning copyright claims for something that was clearly published under MIT license? (Bitcoin paper was released with bitcoin client both under MIT license)

The bitcoin.org website, which promotes the digital asset referred to as ‘Bitcoin Core’, is hosting and publishing a copy of Dr Wright’s academic White Paper “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”, without Dr Wright’s consent. Dr Wright owns the copyright to the White Paper, which he authored and first released in October 2008 under the now-famous moniker ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’.
ONTIER, on Dr Wright’s behalf, had previously written to ‘Cøbra’, informing them that they were infringing Dr Wright’s copyright and requesting that they remove the White Paper from the website. ‘Cøbra’, whose real name remains unknown, has refused to comply with this request.

What crimes do you think CSW has committed? Making accusations in court is typically protected speech, as long as the person does not lie while under oath. Lawyers filing frivolous lawsuits can be subject to sanctions, but this will not affect the client. I don't follow CSW's story very closely, but I have followed it closely enough to conclude that I believe he is not satoshi.
You already answered your own question. Identity theft and lying under oath are two of his many crimes.What I don't get about this particular lawsuit is how can someone even start a lawsuit concerning copyright claims for something that was clearly published under MIT license?

There is nothing real to litigate, because everything is made up.
That's the solid core truth, whatever the fuck he says you should not drop down your anonymity for such an fly like Craig Wright from the pile of shit BSV.
How do you deal with this crap, when someone can just make up a story, and sue you?
These are quite dangerous and desperate people, so I'm still exploring ways I can fight this while keeping my anonymity. It's looking like it may actually be possible, but we'll have to see about that. I'm surprised he hasn't attracted the attention of law enforcement yet, especially after trying to seize £3B worth of Bitcoin with a totally made up story.
Hopefully it won't be too long until he's thrown in jail.

I am not familiar with UK copyright law, but I am surprised the court would even recognize as having jurisdiction over the matter if bitcoin.org does not have a registered agent in the UK.
My suspicion is that the purpose of all these lawsuits is not necessarily to obtain money from the people he is suing, but rather to get a judge to rule that he is in fact satoshi (see my above comment about CWS being good at confusing people by playing with words).
If you read my recent post in dev & tech discussion you'll see how he completely exposed himself to me on twitter back in 2019. He knows he's never going to get any sort of ruling or anything what so ever that says he's satoshi or awards him coins or whatever..but what he is doing is keeping up the charade. There's A LOT of idiots out there who still buy his bs. He of course needs to keep them believing that he really is Satoshi, and if he stops fighting /making up lies etc..he will lose a lot of support. Of course if he was ever fully exposed, he'd lose everything. He's a true piece of gutter filth.

Best of luck Cobra..the one good thing you've maybe got going is this would likely be a somewhat high profile case so I wouldn't be surprised if a lawyer would do it for a very reasonable costs being that they'll be getting some great exposure. At least I hope.

Bitcoin was always about protecting privacy !

I'm a little lost here...
Even if you really couldn't figure out whom LFC_Bitcoin is talking about, reading the thread or at least a couple of posts above yours would get you unlost in a jiffy.

He is a pure opportunist, in fact at some point on this planet of opportunists someone would try to gain the authority of bitcoin, what puzzles me is really the justice to let this happen, how do the courts let someone play with a property worth trillions?
Someone sent me this thread. Just wanted to say thanks for making it.
Lawyers like his who are willing to go along (and seem to enjoy) with filing completely made up cases are some of the biggest scumbags IMO. There is nothing real to litigate, because everything is made up. There isn't even a hint of truth behind any of it. They're just attempting to use the legal system as a tool to dox people, and financially ruin them. I don't know what's going to happen with my case, but no doubt he will appeal and file more cases against me for more made up nonsense. How do you deal with this crap, when someone can just make up a story, and sue you? And you have to spend money and years of your life fighting against it?

Is he actually asking for help? My understanding is that cobra has been involved in bitcoin for a long time, and I would presume that to mean he has a lot of financial resources.
I don't think that address he posted on twitter is intended for donations, but rather to allow someone to verify his identity cryptographically. I wouldn't send any donations unless he is asking for help.

Maybe service section or bitcoin discussion section but honestly speaking I am not too sure too. The reason for those two alternative board is because surely this is not a forum related issue.London’s high court this week allowed Craig Wright’s lawyers to pursue the operator and publisher of the bitcoin.org website, called Cobra, over what they say is copyright infringement, according to documents filed in court seen by Reuters.
I have no idea how the court gave the permission to chase down Cobra. Is this a new kind of joke. Hasn't Faketoshi been already marked as fake by US court?Maybe we the community needs to file a case against Write, take a legal action for harassing the bitcoin community this way. If he can not provide a signed message from the first block publicly then take his clothes off and ask to seek apology to all of us in public.
I’m sure you’ve all read about Craig Wright (Faketoshi) attempting to prove ownership of bitcoin.org & claims he wrote the bitcoin whitepaper & is Satoshi.
This week London’s High Court have permitted Wright to chase down Cøbra over ‘copyright infringement’.
