Kanye West Moves to Stop 'Coinye West' BitCoin Competitor
. "We're really not sure how Kanye is gonna react to this," they told Noisey.com, maintaining anonymity in case West wasn't into their proposed currency.

Well, their fears were not unfounded, as the Wall Street Journal reports that lawyers representing West have issued a cease and desist order to the seven people behind the project, citing trademark infringement. "Given Mr. West's wide-ranging entrepreneurial accomplishments, consumers are likely to mistakenly believe that Mr. West is the source of your services," attorney Brad Rose said in the lawsuit. Instead of backing down, the coders behind "Coinye West" have chosen to carry on, changing the name of the digital currency from "Coinye West" to just "Coinye," moving the web domain registration to India and pushing up the launch date to as soon as last night (Jan. 7). more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
