Key quote:

Documents filed this week show that 10 of the named defendants lost by default because they did not respond to the case.

And to reinforce this point:

Robbie Hontele, from the Netherlands, was initially the only defendant to challenge the case and West dropped his lawsuit against Hontele.

Crypto is the big winner in all of this as Kanye just gave the field a whole load of PR. Bitcoin to the moon!

Ignoring the fact that altcoins tend to be seen as competition to Bitcoin, Dell accepting Bitcoin did nothing to the price (it actually has dropped), but I'm sure Kanye's barely-news will make all the difference.

what does the article have to do with bitcoin? or 'bitcoin infringement lawsuit'?
