Company violates registered trademark to sell merch for profit then cries about being sued. Big nothing burger. Another example of paranoid new age Bitcoiners trying to find a way to be the victim.
"Doing your Christmas shopping early, you love to see it! Let us know if we can send a box of merchandise to any of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks". LMFAO 🤣
I don’t understand why a government entity is allowed to trademark or copyright anything. Regardless of how they view themselves, the Federal Reserve was created by Congress and all of their “intellectual property” should be in the public domain.
On behalf of the entire team at Bitcoin Magazine, I wanted to take the time to thank you for your thoughtful inquiry after having browsed our online store. Doing your Christmas shopping early, you love to see it! Let us know if we can send a box of merchandise to any of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks. You might enjoy our content from the latest print Bitcoin Magazine, which discusses the damages your policies have done to our economy – and our country.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with a list of coveted items, and we will be sure to send them. We want to do our part to “stimulate” the economy!
On to business. We would like to inform you that while we received your cease-and-desist request, we refuse to comply. We will not be intimidated by your efforts to silence criticism.
This is hilarious!!! "mislead readers into believing a connection exists between the publication and the central bank". Who in there right mind would EVER think Bitcoin Magazine is tied to ANY central bank. Wow, just wow.
It makes for great press for Bitcoin Magazine. The trolling seems to be working.

You are allowed to use registered trademarks in parody. Trademarks only protect against fraud intending to confuse consumers. Parody is not that.
So every pleb running a webstore with shirts, you know what your next design should be! Let's see how many cease and desist letters the FED can issue!
Getting a cease and desist from the federal reserve is obviously a badge of honor for any bitcoiner.........Dam now I gotta make some anti fed merch.
tempted to buy BTC Mag merch for the first time in his life 🤔

Two quotes come to mind:
They are playing with fire
You mean the Fed?
I haven't read any of the parodies of FedNow but I know Bitcoin Magazine really did do it justice for the Federal Reserve to be coming for them.

In Australia, "FedNow" would have just closed "BitcoinMagazine's" bank account. No joke: https://sputnikglobe.com/20230905/australia-compromised-by-national-bank-rule-closing-accounts-for-speech-violations-1113137309.html
Any outcome is good for Bitcoin
"Bitcoin" Magazine is shit, but the government is shittier.
I hope they both implode.
They deserve each other.
I don’t understand why a government entity is allowed to trademark or copyright anything. Regardless of how they view themselves, the Federal Reserve was created by Congress and all of their “intellectual property” should be in the public domain.
Because we are the government and we are here to protect our, we mean your, property.
When I saw the title I thought it was a bitcoinbungle parody
I gotta admit, that's a beautiful retort.
I hope this backfires on them and makes the meme spread even faster.
FedNow instant surveillance
That's real men standing up for themselves. I mean Bitcoin Magazine of course.
