+Hello,
+
+My name is [private] GitHub user is blangel and I am a professor at
+NYU teaching course CS9053. I use GitHub to help teach my class. I use
+private repositories to share homework and code with students and I
+leverage pull requests to code review the students' submissions. This
+material, however, is copyrighted by myself and NYU and I make explicit to
+students that this material should not be copied into other repositories
+and publicly posted online. This is to help avoid academic dishonesty in
+cheating (copying past homework submissions).
+
+GitHub repository below violates this copyright.
+
+https://github.com/kira1009/CS9053-Java
+
+It is in fact a copy of another student's work (who has not agreed to this
+posting, the user, stevenlordiam, has already reached out complaining to
+GitHub and since removed his original repository).
+
+The user in question, kira1009, does not have a public email associated
+with his account. I have attempted to contact him (per GitHub guidelines)
+by opening the following pull request asking him to take down the material:
+
+*https://github.com/kira1009/CS9053-Java/pull/1*
+
+He has not responded and so I am issuing a DMCA Complaint to take down the
+repository.
+
+I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Filing a DMCA Notice.
+
+I have verified that the repository is a whole copy of copyrighted material
+and it should completely be removed.
+
+I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described
+above on the infringing web pages is not authorized by the copyright owner,
+or its agent, or the law.
+
+I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this
+notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or am
+authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is
+allegedly infringed.
