Newsweek should have seen it coming.

From the Dorian Nakamoto Legal Defense Fund:

In March of 2014, Newsweek published an article falsely identifying Dorian Nakamoto as “The Face of Bitcoin.”

Newsweek must be held accountable for its reckless reporting. Please donate to Dorian Nakamoto’s Legal Defense Fund.

It is perplexing how Newsweek ever approved “The Face Behind Bitcoin” article by Leah McGrath Goodman.

We should not blindly believe anything published by major publications, be it Newsweek, WSJ, New York Times, etc. They too are playing in the game of page-views.

Jurors Sided Against Newegg on Patent Lawsuit

An eight-person jury in Marshall, Texas found the online retailer Newegg to infringe on a patent owned by TQP Development, a non-practicing patent holder.

Ars Technica reports:

They also found the patent was not invalid, apparently rejecting arguments by famed cryptographer Whitfield Diffie, who took the stand on Friday to argue against the patent.

The jury ordered Newegg to pay $2.3 million, a bit less than half of the $5.1 million TQP’s damage expert had suggested.

Newegg said they will appeal the verdict.

Disclaimer
I recently was hired on a project that involves Newegg as the client. I cannot discuss, let alone reveal the details of the project at this moment. I can safely say that the project is unrelated with Newegg patent lawsuit. I am also a Newegg customer.

But Automattic’s General Counsel, Paul Sieminski, responded on Friday afternoon with a letter objecting to the subpoena.

In preparations of this post we have visited both http://dietrolldie.com and http://fightcopyrighttrolls.com. Should Prenda prevailed in getting all the IP adresses of anyone who visited the two sites above since the beginning of 2011, our IP addresses would be in the list too. What good will the IP Addresses do for Prenda Law? This fishing expedition will face a serious storm in the court of law.
