Sorry, I might not have been following the default judgement matter sufficiently because surely there could potentially be ways to still make an appearance and to preserve identity, but once a default judgement is handed down, then it would likely be harder to appeal any aspect of it.. And, in any event it seems like a potentially reasonable point in terms of merely removing the posting of the whitepaper (or the cite) from the UK. I wonder if that resolves the issue? Of course, there is the matter of the fine and whether to pay it, too. Seems like paying it would more clearly cause that issue to go away, but there could be some options regarding that matter too... It would not be good to cause any situation that gives any hooks to shut down an otherwise valid website, such as the nonpayment of a fine... so of course, legal counsel would be beneficial to consider the weighing of options.
First, they may have to hand him a paper telling that he has to comply to certain things. And this may be difficult without an identity.
Second, COPA has also started this year a trial against faketoshi and after they win that one a second trial may be needed to "fix" this.
But what I'm telling is what I think it's logical, I don't know that much about how legal system works. (And the result of the current trial looks far from logical.)
