CoinFeed reported on April 8th that, according to Decrypt, the U.S. Department of Justice on Tuesday rejected a new motion by Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm to dismiss his case based on a recent Supreme Court ruling. Storm's lawyers had previously argued that the Supreme Court's March 25th ruling in a music copyright case that internet service provider Cox was not liable for user copyright infringement should apply to Storm's case. However, in a letter to Judge Katherine Polk Failla, federal prosecutors pointed out a fundamental difference between the Cox and Storm cases: Cox actively prevented user copyright infringement and stopped the vast majority of violations, while Storm knowingly failed to intervene when Tornado Cash was being used for money laundering.
