比特币白皮书重返Bitcoin.org，“假中本聪”克雷格·赖特败诉

据Cryptopolitan在当地时间25日报道，由于法律纠纷，比特币白皮书曾一度从Bitcoin.org上被删除，但现已恢复。这次修复是克雷格·赖特诉讼失败的结果。赖特对Bitcoin.org的运营商Cobra提起的诉讼败诉，导致白皮书重新上传到Bitcoin.org。Bitcoin.org的维护者亨纳迪·斯捷帕诺夫在社交平台上报告了这一消息。

Cryptopolitan reported on 25 local time that the Bitcoin White Paper had been deleted from Bitcoin.org at one time, but had been restored. The restoration was the result of the failure of Craig Wright’s suit. The claim by Wright against Cobra, the operator of Bitcoin.org, led to the re-advertising of the White Paper to Bitcoin.org. The defender of Bitcoin.org reported this information on social platforms.

2021年，赖特对Bitcoin.org的匿名运营商Cobra提起版权侵权诉讼，并在Cobra未出庭后胜诉。结果，Cobra不得不支付35,000英镑(约合40,100美元)的律师费，并从其网站上删除了白皮书。赖特于2019年为该白皮书申请了美国版权注册。

In 2021, Wright filed a copyright infringement suit against Cobra, an anonymous operator in Bitcoin.org, and won the case after Cobra did not appear. As a result, Cobra had to pay £35,000 (approximately $40,100) for his lawyer's fees and removed the white paper from his website.

去年，赖特对13名比特币核心开发者和几家公司(包括Blockstream、Coinbase和Block)提起了类似的版权侵权诉讼。比特币法律辩护基金支持了这些诉讼，强调这些诉讼是针对杰出贡献者的滥用行为。

Last year, Wright filed similar copyright infringement lawsuits against 13 Bitcoin core developers and several companies, including Blockstream, Coinbase, and Block. The Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund supported these lawsuits, emphasizing that they were abusive against outstanding contributors.

赖特的各种说法被证明是虚假的，他自称是中本聪的说法也被宣告无效。他对白皮书的版权主张也被否定。英国高等法院法官詹姆斯·梅勒裁定，赖特“广泛且多次撒谎”，并犯有“大规模伪造罪”。梅勒在裁决中表示，赖特故意提供虚假文件来支持其虚假主张。

His copyright claim to the White Paper was also rejected. British High Court Justice James Meller ruled that Wright had “broadly and repeatedly lied” and was guilty of “large-scale forgery.” Meller stated in his ruling that Wright deliberately provided false documents in support of his false claims.

这一裁决是在加密货币开放专利联盟(COPA)进行详细调查后做出的，该联盟旨在保护比特币的核心知识产权。COPA声称赖特捏造证据来支持他的说法。赖特的670万英镑(约合840万美元)资产被冻结以支付法庭费用。

The decision was made after a detailed investigation by the Secured Currency Open Patent Union (COPA), which seeks to protect the core intellectual property of Bitcoin. COPA claims that Wright fabricated evidence in support of his claim.

在这项裁决之后，赖特放弃了几起与他自称是比特币创造者有关的诉讼。今年4月11日，他在挪威对加密货币影响者马格努斯·格拉纳斯提起的诉讼中撤回上诉，后者称他为“可悲的欺诈者”。在英国，他也放弃了类似的诉讼。

Following this decision, Wright dropped several lawsuits in connection with his claim that he was the creator of Bitcoin. On 11 April this year, he withdrew his appeal in a Norwegian suit against Magnus Granas, the influencer of cryptographic currency, who called him a “pain fraudster.” In England, he also dropped similar lawsuits.

还有一些诉讼仍在进行中。赖特声称Coinbase和Kraken侵犯了他的比特币知识产权。不过，这些诉讼预计也会受到这一裁决的影响。Coinbase首席法律官保罗·格里沃尔表示：“这一裁决产生了连锁反应，影响了世界各地的多起诉讼。”他补充道：“对于加密货币之外的人来说，这可能听起来很卡通，但随着赖特的主张落空，社区可以松一口气。这是一次真正的胜利。”

There are also ongoing litigations. Wright claims that Coinbase and Kraken violated his Bitcoin intellectual property rights. However, these actions are expected to be affected by this decision. Coinbase's Chief Law Officer, Paul Griever, said: “This decision has had a chain reaction that has affected many lawsuits around the world.” He added: “This may sound cartoon to people other than encrypted money, but as Wright's claims fall, the community can relax. This is a real victory.”

赖特曾通过比特币现金(BCH)的硬分叉创建了比特币中本聪版本(BCH)，这是比特币的一次硬分叉。

Leiter created the Bitcoin medium-hear version (BCH) through a hard fork in Bitcoin cash (BCH), which was a hard fork in Bitcoin.
