It appears that they didn't have a lawyer review the final version of an article about a legal case in which they're involved (since I think a lawyer would've caught the "copyright" bit).

When you're being sued, you should be careful about what you say about that, especially what you put in writing, and publish globally.

So I think this is one example of them not consulting a lawyer enough.




I'm not a lawyer but I suspect that confusing copyright and trademark isn't going to land them in particularly hot water.

And, their lawyer's response is pretty decent. I think that there's lots wrong with everything cryptocurrency, but their shirt looks like a rock solid parody.


Whoever posted an article doesn't seem to have been qualified to know what might and might not land them in hot water. So they should've had a lawyer review the final version. If they're missing that one, what else are they missing.
