The Bitcoin Whitepaper Has Been Re-uploaded to the Bitcoin.org Website
PANews reported on May 25 that according to Protos, after Craig Wright failed to prove in court that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous founder of the Bitcoin protocol, the Bitcoin white paper has been re-uploaded to the Bitcoin.org website. Hennadii Stepanov, the maintainer of Bitcoin.org, announced the return of the Bitcoin white paper by sharing a link to the PDF on X. In 2021, Wright successfully sued the anonymous organization Cøbra, which operates the website, for copyright infringement, and the site was subsequently required to remove the white paper PDF. However, as Wright's claims about being Satoshi Nakamoto and authoring the white paper were thoroughly debunked, his copyright victory has lost its effect.
When Wright sued Cøbra, the organization was required to attend court hearings that could compromise its anonymity. Cøbra subsequently refused to attend these hearings, leading to Wright winning the lawsuit. This resulted in Cøbra paying Wright's legal fees of £35,000. Bitcoin.org had to stop providing the Bitcoin white paper to UK users, citing Satoshi Nakamoto's famous quote: "The nature of information is that it wants to be free and difficult to suppress." Nevertheless, many publishers decided to collectively share the Bitcoin white paper in protest. Jack Dorsey's Square's cryptocurrency division hosted the white paper, and governments in countries like the United States, Estonia, and Colombia took similar actions by hosting the white paper.
