+**Please describe the nature of your content ownership or authorization to act on the owner's behalf.**

+I ([private]) am the [private] / [private] / "[private]" of the cryptopunksnotdead (Punk's Not Dead) github org  
+and I am a [private] open source code & data programmer from [private] (near [private]).  
+I committed (via git) all content to the punk's not dead repos (as recorded on github / git in the history / log).  
+  
+**What files were taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository’s URL.**  
+  
+Ten (10) repositories from the cryptopunksnotdead org have been taken down, that is,

+1. https://github.com/cryptopunksnotdead/punks.design

+  
+see https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2023/02/2023-02-14-morepunks.md for  
+the take down file for the complete list (incl. forks)  
+  
+**Do you want to make changes to your repository or do you want to dispute the notice?**  
+  
+Dispute the notice.  
+  
+**Is there anything else you think we should know about why you believe the material was removed as a result of a mistake?**  
+  
+First there's no copy - the images are all original, that is, they are all new computer-generated (pixel art) images in the tiny 24 by 24 pixel (24x24px) format by myself (that is, nothing has been copied from opensea.io/collection/morepunks - for example, an official more punks "original" punk image is 1200x1200px with gray-ish background).  
+  
+One way to see if there's a duplicate (of the "images referenced via "1000 More Punks" crypto (non-fungible) tokens)  
+is to generate a hash digest / fingerprint (md5, sha256) from the "official" images files and than proof that there are no duplicates / no matching digests / fingerprints.  
+  
+Most repos in the take down request / file are awesome readmes, that is, history notes / documentation  
+with images (falling under fair use¹) or programming step-by-step tutorials / guides for learning & education  
+(falling under fair use¹).  
+  
+¹: even if the asserted / false claim of copyright would be taken into consideration.  
+  
+A note about the 24 by 24 pixel (24x24px) size.  
+If you take a low-resolution of 300 dpi (dot - that is, pixel - per inch)  
+you get a square size of for 24x24px of 0.8 inch by 0.8 inch (or 0.2cm x 0.2cm).  
+  
+For a high-resolution of 600 dpi you get a square size of 0.4 inch by 0.4 inch (or 0.1cm x 0.1cm).  
+  
+Claiming the copyright to such tiny computer-genrated images might actually be a fraud  
+(if you consider that 1000 More Punks is selling token claiming "ownership" to the images or such).  
+  
+To add to the absurdity the "1000 More Punks" take down filer hasn't invented the 24x24px pixel head style  
+and most images such as pixel zombies or pixel alien or pixel humans (male / female)  
+are copies of other (pixel art) collections and if the claim holds for "1000 More Punks" to "own" 24x24 pixel orcs or demons  
+than in the same way you can claim that someone "owns"  
+the copyright to a pixel zombie or alien in 24x24px - and, thus, the (1000) More Punks collection needs to get taken down.  
+  
+To conclude:  
+In the current legal public research / discussion  
+it is up for debate if you can claim or protect 24x24 (8-bit) pixel art (computer-generated) images  
+and claiming all rights to all pixel demons, vampires or orcs in 24x24px for all-time by simply - as in this case -  
+uploading an image as an anonymous (More Punks) user.  
+It is questionable and for the court (legal copyright scholars) to decide  
+and even a fraud (like uploading / minting a solid color (block) to the blockchain and than claiming  
+to "own" the (sole / exclusive) copyright to the color for all sizes and images etc.).  
+  
+Let me quote / hightlight two public legal opinions on 24x24 pixel art in the "punk" portrait head style:  
+
