i don’t know what the legal definition of “cached file” is, but i think the chain would common sense be cached. we don’t have control over those files, you dont do anything with those files, and you still have to go beyond to do extra work to find that data, and know how to pull it out.

oddly, of all the potential fights to have with bitcoin, this is probably one of the more straight forward ones.

if someone randomly sent your a text of binary 0s and 1s that is the data for an elicit image, the court makes their case by arguing you know what that is and you know what to do with it.

either way, i don’t think the fight as even begun. when fiat is on the ropes, how could we expect anything but for them to pull out all the stops
