Metalcecco belongs to me personally while Blokbro is from the company that I am CEO and I also represent my community ... the other authors can be parts of my community that I spoke to. When I wrote in German it is because first the form was in the German section, then they moved it and I didn't notice it. Plagiarism is the violation of copyrhigt. A work or website is required to specify whether it is copyrighted and if it is copyrighted, anyone can ask for access to the document that must be deposited. "With the term plagiarism (or piracy), IN COPYRIGHT, we refer to the appropriation, through total or partial copying, of the authorship of a work of the genius of others. The term derives from the Latin plagium (reduction into slavery or theft of someone else's slave) [1] and in this meaning it is reflected in the English plagiarism and in the French and German Plagiat.

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagio_(diritto_d%27author) in this case the copyright is not deposited, anyone can use information and photos of the site and no one can say that it is plagiarism. Defamation, on the other hand , occurs when someone publicly comments on
untrue facts or offends or causes damage to the company or person. In this case Lafu,
without checking this information and without listening to my reason for error, points to the fact of plagiarism by writing it publicly, also causing damage to my project. I am not here to ask for damages on the project (although I could) but I am here to make you think about this fact and I ask for the removal of the article. I have 3 months to file a complaint and have the authorities intervene, but I believe that the matter can be resolved without this.Thank you for your attention
A little late to join as I get into this tread and have been wanting to comment on it since you posted this, but I got some on my plates that needs to be done. Apology for the delay, but without furter ado, may I suggest you to perhaps reconsider your "lawyer"? I don't think they know exactly what to do or what basis they can use, so instead they just throw random things at you... of course, I am assuming these lawyers are real people and firms and not just you googling some things.
I've nicely highlighted some critical point you raised as the basis of your threat to file a defamation complaint.
First, let's refer to this article published by a well-known law firm, just to make sure all of us here are on the same page, given
recently, there are a lot of caught plagiat and scammers trying to get back by throwing these "we will sue you" threat, I think we need to be sure --well, at least I need to be sure-- if it is really applicable
To prove prima facie defamation, a plaintiff must show four things: 1) a false statement purporting to be fact; 2) publication or communication of that statement to a third person; 3) fault amounting to at least negligence; and 4) damages, or some harm caused to the reputation of the person or entity who is the subject of the statement.
Now, correctly if I'm wrong, but although you meet the other three condition to file a defamation complain, the first and foremost point to build the case is not met, and thus everything became obsolete. In order to prove a first look of defamation, it is need to be proven that the accusation is wrong, --e.g.
Lafu spread false and baseless information that I stole 1M BTC from him while I actually never did, for this case, I might have a chance to build a defamatory case against him. In your case though, everything he said is true, namely you copied and plagiarize a content from someone else, so, all he said is fact and not a false statement. Again, as
Stalker22 repetitively pointed out, the case is not a copyright infringement, it is a simple plagiarism. I don't think I need to join his effort to explain to you what the differences it, he explained good enough, and how you still persist that it is exclusively synonymous is well, beyond my comprehension. Lafu accuses you of plagiarizing someone's work, and indeed you are, how is it a defamation if what he said is true?
Second, let's assume for a sec that you somehow had a chance to build a case, on which country shall you build and have your court? In your country, Italy? Or is it on Lafu's --I assume Germany--? Are you sure the law on said country complies with what you build? And to what address shall the summoning order be addressed to? The court needs to made it known to the defendant that there is a case against them, and far as I know, you're the one who need to supply the details of the suspect. You somehow have Lafu's home address in your pocket? Please don't tell me your lawyer suggest you to address "Lafu, a member of bitcointalk, wherever he actually stays".
And the very last, the mundane thing, Lafu actually did some work of checking the information, how else do you think he knew you plagiarized a content if he didn't check past works of someone else? How you failed to see this simple thing and "accuse" him of not doing any work is beyond me. Perhaps Lafu should consider to raise a defamation case against you as you wrongfully made fake statement that he didn't di any work, made the said statement public, and you caused him a tarnished reputation as people will now think he didn't do enough work. Oh look at that, he actually has all the four points against you.
