Is the familiar Bitcoin image properly copyrighted or trademarked?
No ... and considering someone just trademarked "bitcoin" how long before they trademark the coin image?
the end result is we're going to have stupid legal issues now rather than focusing on growing the economy.... look I found that shit and posted it here so everyone can see it... it's up to you guys to take action... all of us...
So what's the plan?
(in the US) copyright of an image is implied when the artist has completed it. no one is gong to "steal" the logo. im sure the original artist has plenty of proof that it was created by them.
