Topic: Kanye West Sues Dutch Student over COINYE!! (Read 1297 times)

Completley agree!
And he is unable to get rid of the coin now anyway.
I see they have blacked out the shutter glasses on the coinye coin website, not that they could ever be a trademark of kanye west.
I see the other domain names have been taken down now, they used to have an image of judge judy asking Kanye if he looks like a gay fish. lol

Kanye West is coming for you

disagree totally, the dev is way less offensive than these celeb types. I hope coinye wastes a fortune on this and since it's some poor student...can't see them getting much out of it. Those scum bag lawyers probably cost a bit.

He is probably 1/100000000000000th as wealthy ascomplaining pest or whatever his name is and has 10x the iq and 5000000 x the humility.

Let's push this coin harder than ever now....

Good I hope the dev loses all his net worth.  It would be a good lesson to coin developers that these are not get rich quick schemes.

kw is a twat so is his stupid skank gf. If this ugly fucktard can have an effect on crypto.... then the entire thing is a joke.

anyone wanting his or his moronic gfs autograph must be messed up.  These kind of turds are only anything because of the attention given to them by the lowest of the low.

Really their existence offends anyone with any kind of mind.  Wasted matter in a form that is thankfully short lived.

Doing his reputation damage? his reputation as what?  I'd never even heard of this fool before coinye came out since i detest television and celebrity shit in general.

I think it could be argued this coin has brought him a lot of extra publicity? i mean i have seen several people on here say they haven't heard of him before.... just think if some of those were tone deaf or enjoyed inflicting pain upon neighbours and friends via their stereo?  he should be compensating us.

I mean have you seen the porno with his gf in, ....recently i watched out of curiosity over this chunky ass bitch....the ass looked more than acceptable but you can tell she's one hairy moose in the mornings. If you saw her in her natural state grazing in the garden with out all the slicing, dicing and pruning that she has gone through, you'd run for the gun cabinet. I wonder wtf it would look like without 1M dollars of plastic surgery.

Fuck them ... i can't stand these types. You're rich because of positive attention, expect some negative attention too. It's a poor reflection upon todays generation these types can get away with throwing their weight around.

Kanye thinks he is Jesus he also put's fish sticks in his mouth , he probably sucks white fish sticks he is very picky does not like black .

Kanye West is a arrogant bastard I cant stand him I wonder what he would of been if not a rap star .

A gay fish?

I remember reading an article about Kanye telling Kim not to sign autographs and shit, because the less that are out there, the more her autograph is worth.

Kanye doesn't want his brand, which is his name, watered down and used by someone else. While I don't think he'll win a big case here, and I don't agree that he has a case, I do understand why he doesn't want some kid getting rich off his name. He's a businessman. A psycho, but a businessman.

All Kanye is doing is keeping his name in the media at the expense of continuing to display what a jerk he is.  Even if he wins, so what, I doubt the creators of Coinye have any meaningful assets.  Good luck collecting anything.

The thing is this:
South park made fun of him and appeared to get away with it!

As far as I can see, Kanye indeed has a case.
Regardless of dropping his last name in the second version of the coin, the devs used his likeness, and even used a little material from one of Kanye's video on their site early on - those are trademark infringements. But aside from all that, we all know who the coin parodied.

I don't understand why the devs continue to antagonize him with their statements, knowing Kanye's character.
If Kanye gets a favorable ruling in NY, he could pursue a judgement in the Netherlands*.
Settlement in the wisest choice here, and I fully expect one to be reached once the gravity of the situation eventually sinks in.

* Kanye might not even need to file a separate trial there. While there are no existing treaty on commercial judgments between the two countries, there is a precedent of a Dutch court awarding an American plaintiff with a judgement made in the U.S (in 2010, Louisiana-based ROYAL CHEMICAL CORPORATION was awarded damages and punitive damages against the defendents, INTERNATIONAL HOLDING BV: http://jure.nl/ecli:nl:rbrot:2010:bl8614)

The only influence he has is over yolo swag fags.

You guys think its a joke but this guy has tons of money and influence.

lol i agree, he thinks he has a case because he thinks he looks like a gay fish! rotfl
And yes your right, those shutter party glasses are found in the supermarket for $2, hardly could be a trademark of kanye west!

The best part is "With each day that passes, Mr. West’s reputation is irreparably harmed"

hahahahahahaha. As if him none of the stupid things he does has anything to do with it. For example lets not forget the VMA awards when he crashed the stage to interrupt Taylor Swift from receiving her award. Total insult to her. He's just a stupid drunk.

its so funny that the moron douche bag that is Kanye West thinks he has a case here. LMFAO. All the dev has to say is that it has no relation to him and stick with that. The sunglasses are worn by thousands of idiots who like those dumbass shutter shades and so are they giving Kayne a bad name. Kayne needs to get off his high horse and find something better to do with his time than to go after some student. He's just going to piss off the hackers which we all know is not going to end well for him.

bump

They managed to track him down!
lol it will be interesting to see how this thing unfolds...
