RE: Legality of unlawful data on blockchain?

in #legal8 years ago (edited)

I didn't read the other comments, so I may be duplicating, but I have always wondered what would happen when somebody registered an existing company or brand name as a username and started posting things the brand name owner doesn't like. I mean names like McDonald's, Chevrolet, Apple, Goldman Sachs, etc. They could and maybe would go to court in every country a node is running. I'm not entirely sure the blockchain would survive, but then, I am not a lawyer, I am happy to say.

Sort:  

actually, that has occurred in at least once instance... @grumpycat is a brand name being used by a current whale.
