Today, COPA initiated a lawsuit asking the UK High Court to declare that Mr. Craig Wright does not have copyright ownership over the Bitcoin White Paper. We stand in support of the Bitcoin developer community and the many others who've been threatened for hosting the White Paper.

Justice Mellor found that: 1) Dr Wright is not the author of the Bitcoin White Paper. 2) Dr Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto. 3) Dr Wright is not the person who created the Bitcoin System. 4) Dr Wright is not the author of the initial versions of the Bitcoin software. 1/4

COPA stands for an open financial system and was formed to remove barriers that stifle innovation. We are hosting the Bitcoin whitepaper and stand with our members and the crypto community to address this issue. Here’s our letter in response to last week’s cease and desists.

Hard pass on that "settlement." Just like Craig Wright forges documents and doesn't quite tell the truth, his description of the settlement offer isn't quite accurate either - it comes with loopholes that would allow him to sue people all over again.

COPA just won its first hearing against Craig: . Interesting read. Why did he try to get the court to block that evidence though?🤔

Today’s courtroom lowlight: Wright repeatedly failed to explain basic aspects of the cryptographic techniques at the heart of Satoshi’s invention. He couldn’t even explain what an “unsigned” C++ variable meant - a computing concept that any real programmer would learn on day 1.

Cryptocurrency depends on people freely sharing ideas and code in public. COPA protects the open source collaboration that makes it work. COPA's membership is growing beyond cryptocurrency companies, and so is the patent protection shared by the community. Watch this space 🤝
