  It's not clear from this article or the linked Ontier statement whether Wright requested damages or whether the court came up with that as a matter of law or custom.

  I assume damages were requested, which may lead to deanonymization of "Cobra," which might be the ulterior motive for doing this.

  Any more info on the specific material that they are claiming is being copyright infringed? Is it the whitepaper itself? Seems kind of pointless to have an injunction against one site, this paper will be all over the 'Net at this point.

  Glad to know that it's still there.

  Why should bitcoin.org care what a UK court wants?
