The fact that CSW submitted for copyright something that has been in the public domain for years (the bitcoin whitepaper)
Whatever gives you the idea that the Bitcoin white paper is public domain?
He didn't say it "is" public domain, he said its been in the public domain, because nobody was too big of an ass to attempt to copyright it until Craig came along.
How convenient for the next public display of ignorance to come so quickly. Copyright is established the instant a work is affixed in tangible form. That copyright exists fully independent if any registration thereof. Absent any explicit delegation of rights to the public at large
by its creator, the Bitcoin white paper is
not public domain.
Your willful persistence in confusing 2 different terms does not alter the fact that Craig is a fraud. You're like a medium-grade scammer who gets caught in a scam and then attempts to shift attention to an argument around something else. The fact remains: Satoshi intended bitcoin to be freely-distibutable, available to all, and Craig is attempting to subvert that ethos by copyrighting and patenting anything he can get his greedy little hands on, all the while claiming he is Satoshi. You have to be either very stupid or very dishonest to not see what's going on by now.
Thats rather rich.
Im not the one with a demonstrated confusion between patents and compyrights, nor between public domain and non public domain items.
The initial protocol is indeed free for anyone to use. While I understand at least some of the arguments for abolishing all IP law, under the current dominant system of the world, peoples inventions are their own, should they choose to patent them. Near as I am aware, nChain is not making patent claim to any fundamental bit of the initial Bitcoin protocol. They are making patent claims to other innovations running
atop the Bitcoin protocol. And in the world in which we live, that is a perfectly legitimate thing to do.
Exactly what is the nature of your compliant? Describe to me one patent of nChains that has you most up in arms, and describe to me exactly how you think it violates some element of fair play. If you can.
