In August 2018, the SEC (The Securities and Exchange Commission) filed a claim that LBRY is a security and could not be traded on exchanges. The SEC was seeking a preliminary injunction to stop LBRY from using digital tokens as a form of payment for digital content.

LBRY argued that the SEC’s complaint is vague and ambiguous and that the SEC should not be allowed to “enforce its vague and ambiguous complaint through vague and ambiguous remedies.” LBRY also argued that the SEC’s motion for a protective order should be denied as the SEC does not have a strong legal argument for why it would be granted.
