PleasrDAO 起訴「Pharma Bro」Martin Shkreli 侵害智慧財產權

PleasrDAO 可能是最加密原生的組織之一，但它卻反覆採用一種非常「傳統」的策略：一場好的、老式的訴訟。

PleasrDAO, a collective of DeFi traders, early NFT collectors, and digital artists, has filed a lawsuit against convicted felon Martin Shkreli for allegedly breaking intellectual property rights.

由 DeFi 交易者、早期 NFT 收藏家和數位藝術家組成的 PleasrDAO 已對被定罪的重罪犯 Martin Shkreli 提起訴訟，指控其侵犯智慧財產權。

The organization, legally represented as an “exempted foundation company,” which means it is not subject to income, withholding, or capital gains taxes, is suing Shkreli for making multiple unauthorized copies of the album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, recorded by famed hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan, and releasing them to the public.

該組織在法律上被稱為“豁免基金會公司”，這意味著它無需繳納所得稅、預扣稅或資本利得稅。

The collective paid $4.7 million for the rights to the one-of-a-kind album, which had only one individual copy created and subsequently sold, and hadn’t been listened to until Shkreli allegedly played portions of the album during a livestream he hosted on X over the weekend of June 8-9, in an event he called the “Wu-Tang official listening party.”

該團體支付了470 萬美元購買了這張獨一無二的專輯的版權，這張專輯只製作了一張單獨的副本，隨後出售，直到據稱施克萊利在他主持的直播中播放了這張專輯在的部分內容之前，人們都沒有聽過這張專輯。

Shkreli’s move came just a couple of days before PleasrDAO had planned its own first public listening, which took place in a church in NYC on June 8.

Shkreli 採取這項措施的前幾天，PleasrDAO 計劃於 6 月 8 日在紐約市的一座教堂舉行首次公開聽證會。

Some in the crypto community were quick to criticize PleasrDAO’s decision to take legal action, with pseudonymous internet troll 0xMakesy writing on X after the lawsuit was filed “Drop the ‘DAO’, it’s cleaner,” which was retweeted by crypto-native lawyer, Gabriel Shapiro.

加密社群中的一些人很快批評了PleasrDAO 採取法律行動的決定，在提起訴訟後，化名的網路巨魔0xMakesy 在X 上寫道“放棄'DAO'，它更乾淨”，加密原生律師Gabriel 轉發了這則推文夏皮羅。

Several users agreed, including Hadron Labs general council, “lawpanda,” who wrote “hey could have just named it Pleasr Foundation, smdh.”

一些用戶表示同意，其中包括 Hadron Labs 總理事會“lawpanda”，他寫道“嘿，可以將其命名為 Pleasr Foundation，smdh”。

But Adam Miller, CEO and co-founder of MIDAO, an organization that helps DAOs & Web3 projects incorporate themselves legally in the Marshall Islands, told The Defiant that legal entities don’t inherently reduce decentralization.

但 MIDAO 的執行長兼聯合創始人 Adam Miller 告訴 The Defiant，法律實體本身並不會減少權力下放。

“Decentralization might not even refer to the social structure but rather the underlying technology,” he said. “If organizations are using a distributed ledger for its tokens, then what’s not to say it’s decentralized?”

「去中心化甚至可能不是指社會結構，而是指底層技術，」他說。 “如果組織為其代幣使用分散式帳本，那麼為什麼不說它是去中心化的呢？”

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams echoed the sentiment.

Uniswap 創辦人 Hayden Adams 也表達了同樣的觀點。

“People complaining about DAOs suing don’t realize Pleasr is basically a member-owned museum,” he wrote on X, adding that the DAO part is “because many of its components and assets live onchain.”

「抱怨 DAO 提起訴訟的人並沒有意識到 Pleasr 基本上是一個會員擁有的博物館，」他在 X 上寫道，並補充說 DAO 部分是「因為它的許多組件和資產都存在於鏈上」。

“It’s not a public DAO anyone can buy into, [and] of course they’re protecting IP rights to the Wu Tang album they spent $5 million on,” Adams said.

「這不是任何人都可以購買的公共 DAO，[而且]他們當然是在保護他們花費 500 萬美元購買的 Wu Tang 專輯的知識產權，」亞當斯說。

Miller works directly with the Marshall Islands, which is one of the only jurisdictions that explicitly recognizes the legal structures of DAOs.

Miller 直接與馬紹爾群島合作，該群島是唯一明確承認 DAO 法律結構的司法管轄區之一。

And for him, these types of organizations are helpful for governments themselves, aiding with some much-needed transparency. “Governments get way more visibility into how a company operates,” he explained. It’s a tradeoff, in Miller’s mind, that despite using crypto at its core, authorities will simply have to accept.

對他來說，這些類型的組織對政府本身很有幫助，有助於提高一些急需的透明度。 「政府可以更清楚地了解公司的運作方式，」他解釋道。在米勒看來，這是一種權衡，儘管其核心是加密貨幣，但當局只能接受。

Another jurisdiction that recognizes DAOs is the state of Wyoming in the U.S. The state recently created a statute dubbed DUNA–the Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association–which expands the already friendly legal waters for DAOs in the state.

另一個承認 DAO 的司法管轄區是美國懷俄明州，該州最近制定了一項名為 DUNA（去中心化非法人非營利協會）的法規，擴大了該州對 DAO 已經友好的合法水域。

Experts in crypto-related law gave it two thumbs up after it passed.

法案通過後，加密相關法律專家豎起了兩個大拇指。

A number of other states also reportedly acknowledge and have passed DAO specific regulations, including Utah, Vermont and Tennessee.

據報道，其他一些州也承認並通過了 DAO 具體法規，包括猶他州、佛蒙特州和田納西州。

While the previous examples show progress with DAOs getting more regulatory clarity in the traditional world, there are projects working towards finding legal certainty in a decentralized economy.

雖然前面的例子顯示 DAO 在傳統世界中的監管更加明確，但也有一些項目致力於在去中心化經濟中尋找法律確定性。

Kleros, dubbed the “Justice Protocol,” is an open source online dispute resolution protocol which uses blockchain and crowdsourcing to fairly adjudicate disputes.

Kleros，被稱為“正義協議”，是一種開源線上爭議解決協議，它使用區塊鏈和眾包來公平裁決爭議。

PleasrDAO is not the only DAO to take legal action. Token holders of Aragon, a project meant to – perhaps ironically– help create and run DAOs, voted to sue the Aragon Association for allegedly offering an unfair redemption plan amid dissolution.

PleasrDAO 並不是唯一採取法律行動的 DAO。 Aragon 的代幣持有者投票起訴 Aragon 協會，因為該協會涉嫌在解散期間提供不公平的贖回計劃。

On Nov. 21, the DAO voted to allocate 300,000 USDC to Patagon Management, a Delaware-based company owned by Diogenes Casares, to take legal action against Aragon.

11 月 21 日，DAO 投票決定向 Diogenes Casares 旗下特拉華州公司 Patagon Management 分配 30 萬 USDC，以對 Aragon 採取法律行動。

The funds allocated to support the lawsuit constitute a “highly conditional grant” that was sent to Patagon Management LLC, a Delaware-based trading firm that previously engaged in “similar legal action” against SpartacusDAO’s alleged founder, Wei Wu, on behalf of token holders.

分配用於支持訴訟的資金構成“高條件補助金”，該資金被發送給位於特拉華州的Patagon Management LLC 貿易公司，該公司此前代表代幣持有者對SpartacusDAO 的所謂創始人Wei Wu 採取了「類似的法律行動」 。

Similar legal action against Wu refers to a $35 million freeze that a judge slapped against SpartacusDAO’s leader after SPA token holders were unsatisfied with the progress with the crypto yield project.

針對 Wu 的類似法律行動指的是，在 SPA 代幣持有者對加密收益項目的進展不滿意後，法官對 SpartacusDAO 領導人凍結了 3500 萬美元。

Francisco Díaz, a researcher at TalentDAO, who also participates in the Decentralized Science space, says legal recourse is especially important in DeSci.

TalentDAO 的研究員 Francisco Díaz 也參與了去中心化科學領域，他表示法律追索權在 DeSci 中尤其重要。

“In DeSci it’s important to have that legal entity so we can register intellectual property on medical patents, for example,” he pointed out.

「例如，在 DeSci 中，擁有該法人實體非常重要，這樣我們就可以註冊醫療專利的智慧財產權，」他指出。
