+Dear GitHub staff,  
+
+I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Filing a DMCA Counter Notice.  
+
+This is a formal response to a claim of copyright infringement against
+my GitHub repository at <https://github.com/bui/taiko-web>. I believe
+the claims of copyright infringement are inaccurate and should be
+rejected because:  
+
+- The complainant has provided no copyright registration information or
+other tangible evidence that the repository in question is in fact
+copyrighted by their client, and I have a good faith belief that it is
+not. The allegation of copyright violation is therefore in dispute, and
+at present unsupported.
+
+- The complaint does not follow the prescribed form for notification of
+an alleged copyright violation as set forth in the Digital Millennium
+Copyright Act, 17 USC 512(c)(3). Specifically, the complainant has
+failed to:
+
+-- Identify the specific copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, or, 
+if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single complaint, provide
+a representative list of such works. [17 USC 512(c)(3)(A)(ii)]
+-- Provide the URLs/filenames for the specific files in my repository 
+that are alleged to be infringing. [17 USC 512(c)(3)(A)(iii)]
+
+- The complainant is concerned about the allegedly unauthorized use of
+sounds and images from their client's game in my repository. Should the
+complainant be able to properly identify the allegedly infringing files
+as required by the DMCA, I would be more than happy to remove them from
+the repository once it is reinstated.
+
+- The complainant admits that I have "recreated" their client's game.
+Because it is a recreation, it's not possible for my original game code
+to be copyrighted by the complainant's client. In addition, the
+complainant claims that my project uses the "Taiko no Tatsujin" name,
+however this name is never referenced except in the project README. The
+project is called "Taiko Web" which does not infringe on any of the
+complainant's rights.
+
+This communication to you is a DMCA counter notification letter as
+defined in 17 USC 512(g)(3):
+
+I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good-faith belief that
+the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or
+misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
+
+I ask that GitHub, upon receipt of this counter-notification, restore
+the material in dispute, unless the complainant files suit against me
+within ten (10) days, pursuant to 17 USC 512(g)(2)(B).
+
+I consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial
+district in which my address is located (if in the United States,
+otherwise the Northern District of California where GitHub is located),
+and I will accept service of process from the person who provided the
+DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
+
+Best regards,
