Dear Bitcoin.org, 

Greetings, I hope this find you well. I have an issue that needs an explanation.

When I tried to download the Bitcoin White Paper from your website [Bitcoin.org]. I noticed a blockage. I did not get the PDF paper, even from Google search link. How is it Google can get the paper and I can't? Could you please amend your ways and give me an explanation? (Read the Images attached).

By the way, if you are unable to change. It could be read as payload and harassment for sick gains!!! If that is so, I guess, is that why you are in hiding! lol

Thank you,
PS: Where is the blue paper? lol

Bitcoin.org got sued in the UK by someone claiming to own the copyright in the whitepaper. That person won the case by default because we didn't participate. As a result the court ordered to block access to the whitepaper to visitors from the UK. You can get the whitepaper from many other places though. This only impacts a small percentage of users.
