Hi,
|
|
|
|
As the forwarded email below shows, I received a takedown notice today for
|
|
the content at
|
|
|
|
http://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/blob/master/apt-cyg
|
|
|
|
The takedown is not credible, and this email is a counter-notice to ensure
|
|
that my copyrighted content remains publically available in the form I
|
|
published it.
|
|
|
|
I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good-faith belief that any
|
|
material removed or disabled as a result of this takedown notice would be
|
|
the result of a mistake or misidentification or misattribution of copyright.
|
|
|
|
I consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial
|
|
district in which my address is located, and I will accept service of
|
|
process from the person who provided the DMCA notification or an agent.
|
|
|
|
I have read and understand GitHub's guide to filing a DMCA counter-notice.
|
|
|
|
I am certain that I own the content that is being contested for these
|
|
reasons among others:
|
|
|
|
1 - Line 6 of the linked file identifies my company, Trans-code Design, as
|
|
the copyright holder. I am the sole proprietor of Trans-code Design.
|
|
|
|
2 - The document at https://code.google.com/archive/p/apt-cyg/ contains the
|
|
original version of this project, which was later migrated to GitHub.
|
|
Inspecting the source available there shows that it is an early version of
|
|
the same project and that I am the copyright holder.
|
|
|
|
3 - The only substantial part of this project is the single file (
|
|
http://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/blob/master/apt-cyg) that the
|
|
complainant identified, and comparing this file with prior versions on both
|
|
GitHub and Google Code shows that I am the original author of 100% of the
|
|
code, and that various maintainers have made minor changes since that time.
|
|
The claim made by the complainant that they own 94% of the code in this
|
|
file is not credible.
|
|
|
|
There is no justification for a takedown notice, nor am I a "hostile user."
|
|
The complainant was removed as a collaborator to protect the project after
|
|
they threatened to delete files.
|
|
|
|
I appreciate your taking the time to look at this issue carefully.
|
|
|
