+This is a circumvention of technological measures claim, since the software is focused on ban evasion. That said, our software has also been used and reproduced in violation of our TOS in order to create this repository -- our software is available at https://rec.net/download.
+

+Yes
+
+**What technological measures do you have in place and how do they effectively control access to your copyrighted material?**
+
+We have username bans, hardware ID bans and IP bans that this repository is working to circumvent. We only use these bans when someone has violated our terms of service and thus begun infringing our content by evading the ban to access the otherwise unlicensed content.
+
+**How is the accused project designed to circumvent your technological protection measures?**
+
+It's literally a Rec Room ban evasion repository.

+

+
+**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 have taken <a href="https://www.lumendatabase.org/topics/22">fair use</a> into consideration.**
+
+**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.**
