Coinye fights back against Kanye West with its own cease and desist letter
Just four days after Kanye West’s attorney sent a cease and desist letter to the anonymous group behind Coinye, the cryptocurrency’s developers have turned around and responded with a cease and desist letter of their own.
In a letter sent Friday to West’s attorney Brad Rose and various media outlets (including Ars Technica) the “Coinye Coin Worldwide Team” decries Rose’s original letter.
The letter refers to “constant harassment and scare tactics” on behalf of West against the Coinye community—including other cease and desist letters against related sites. Coinye's Friday letter also refers to West’s “pending applications” of the Coinye trademark.
