Why are there no updates about the lawsuits against COYE?
There has not been one recent news mention for many days now. I would really like to know what the status is or any developments.
Like how far along is the process? What are the chances of him winning? Or the case getting dropped?
IMO, it'll take from weeks to months for any developments to happen.
The thing I don't understand, is who are they going to sue? I mean, there is no one to really go after.... that's the point of being decentralized.
Also, the name and image have all been completely changed, so what basis do they have for a case now?
They are claiming infringement on COYE and Coinye, as well as the "shutter glasses" which imo is utterly ridiculous since that trend started way back in the early 70s.
Coinye will take off with or without Kanye West or his blessing.
EDIT: The consensus is we are NOT changing the name of the coin. If anything we will change the logo on the coin to fishsticks or a gayfish without the glasses and if we need to change the name to get around the legal dispute and get on big exchanges...then we should replace the "C" with a "K" and be Koinye and KOYE. We get to keep the name and the publicity and they cannot say shit. It's a parody and they cant sue because of it. South Park was sued for their parody episode and Kanye lost that one.
I have a feeling it will come to that. Koinye Coin (KOYE).
