Bitcoin.org Will Continue Hosting Bitcoin Whitepaper

According to an official post, both Bitcoin.org and Bitcoincore.org received allegations of copyright infringement of the Bitcoin whitepaper by lawyers representing Craig Steven Wright. In this letter, they claim Craig owns the copyright to the paper, the Bitcoin name, and ownership of bitcoin.org. They also claim he is Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, and the original owner of bitcoin.org. Bitcoin.org and Bitcoincore.org were both asked to take down the whitepaper. "We believe these claims are without merit, and refuse to do so," reads the post.
Unfortunately, Bitcoin Core developers scrambled to remove the Bitcoin whitepaper from bitcoincore.org, in response to these allegations of copyright infringement, lending credence to these false claims.
Bitcoin.org stressed that it will continue hosting the Bitcoin whitepaper and won’t be silenced or intimidated.
