that's a ridiculous interpretation, imho.
the f-g whitepaper was PUBLISHED, end of story.
"the whitepaper is in the blockchain"- i fail to understand this statement considering that it was a scholarly article first and foremost.
Yeah, it sucks. But since Satoshi never added a copyright notice to the actual whitepaper, CSW was able to steal the US copyright and sue in a UK court.
Hopefully COPA succeeds in their suit to invalidate the copyright.
