> A court would have to force Bitcoin users and miners

In case it's not clear, even if the court did this and was able to enforce it, they would still need to enforce it outside of the country too, where, if I'm not mistaken, the majority of miners are.

Yep, I think it's pretty interesting, with any other "system" or "product", he needs to sue the owner/controller/company behind it to make them change it. With Bitcoin, there is literally nothing and nobody stopping him from creating the fork he wants. Forcing other people to accept currency from, develop on, or mine on that fork is a different story..

I'd actually love to see CW win this case, because it would prove definitively that bitcoin cannot be regulated.

So you're okay with a dozen of Bitcoin's longest standing developers being personally bankrupted?
