PleasrDAO 起诉“Pharma Bro”Martin Shkreli 侵犯知识产权

PleasrDAO 可能是最加密原生的组织之一，但它却反复采用一种非常“传统”的策略：一场好的、老式的诉讼。

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 收藏家和数字艺术家组成的 PleasrDAO 已对被定罪的重罪犯 Martin Shkreli 提起诉讼，指控其侵犯知识产权。

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.

该组织在法律上被称为“豁免基金会公司”，这意味着它无需缴纳所得税、预扣税或资本利得税。嘻哈乐队 Wu-Tang Clan，并向公众发布它们。

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.”

该团体支付了 470 万美元购买了这张独一无二的专辑的版权，这张专辑只制作了一张单独的副本，随后出售，直到据称施克莱利在他主持的直播中播放了这张专辑的部分内容之前，人们都没有听过这张专辑。 6 月 8 日至 9 日周末，他在 X 号举行了一场他称之为“武当官方聆听派对”的活动。

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 采取这一举措的前几天，PleasrDAO 计划于 6 月 8 日在纽约市的一座教堂举行首次公开​​听证会。

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.

加密社区中的一些人很快批评了 PleasrDAO 采取法律行动的决定，在提起诉讼后，化名的互联网巨魔 0xMakesy 在 X 上写道“放弃‘DAO’，它更干净”，加密原生律师 Gabriel 转发了这条推文夏皮罗。

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

一些用户表示同意，其中包括 Hadron Labs 总理事会“lawpanda”，他写道“嘿，可以将其命名为 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 的首席执行官兼联合创始人 Adam Miller 告诉 The Defiant，法律实体本身并不会减少权力下放。MIDAO 是一个帮助 DAO 和 Web3 项目在马绍尔群岛合法注册的组织。

“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会结构，而是指底层技术，”他说。 “如果组织为其代币使用分布式账本，那么为什么不说它是去中心化的呢？”

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams echoed the sentiment.

Uniswap 创始人 Hayden Adams 也表达了同样的观点。

“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 提起诉讼的人并没有意识到 Pleasr 基本上是一个会员所有的博物馆，”他在 X 上写道，并补充说 DAO 部分是“因为它的许多组件和资产都存在于链上”。

“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.

“这不是任何人都可以购买的公共 DAO，[而且]他们当然是在保护他们花费 500 万美元购买的 Wu Tang 专辑的知识产权，”亚当斯说。

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

Miller 直接与马绍尔群岛合作，该群岛是唯一明确承认 DAO 法律结构的司法管辖区之一。

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.

对他来说，这些类型的组织对政府本身很有帮助，有助于提高一些急需的透明度。 “政府可以更清楚地了解公司的运营方式，”他解释道。在米勒看来，这是一种权衡，尽管其核心是加密货币，但当局只能接受。

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.

另一个承认 DAO 的司法管辖区是美国怀俄明州，该州最近制定了一项名为 DUNA（去中心化非法人非营利协会）的法规，扩大了该州对 DAO 已经友好的合法水域。

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

该法案通过后，加密相关法律专家竖起了两个大拇指。

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

据报道，其他一些州也承认并通过了 DAO 具体法规，包括犹他州、佛蒙特州和田纳西州。

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.

虽然前面的例子显示 DAO 在传统世界中的监管更加明确，但也有一些项目致力于在去中心化经济中寻找法律确定性。

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

Kleros，被称为“正义协议”，是一种开源在线争议解决协议，它使用区块链和众包来公平裁决争议。

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 并不是唯一采取法律行动的 DAO。 Aragon 的代币持有者投票起诉 Aragon 协会，因为该协会涉嫌在解散期间提供不公平的赎回计划。

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 投票决定向 Diogenes Casares 旗下特拉华州公司 Patagon Management 分配 300,000 USDC，以对 Aragon 采取法律行动。

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.

分配用于支持诉讼的资金构成“高条件补助金”，该资金被发送给位于特拉华州的 Patagon Management LLC 贸易公司，该公司此前代表代币持有者对 SpartacusDAO 的所谓创始人 Wei Wu 采取了“类似的法律行动” 。

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.

针对 Wu 的类似法律行动指的是，在 SPA 代币持有者对加密收益项目的进展不满意后，法官对 SpartacusDAO 领导人冻结了 3500 万美元。

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

TalentDAO 的研究员 Francisco Díaz 也参与了去中心化科学领域，他表示法律追索权在 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，拥有该法人实体非常重要，这样我们就可以注册医疗专利的知识产权，”他指出。
