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

I am the owner of this original U.S. Government code repository and represent the Small Business Administration's copyright interests.

Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed. If possible, include a URL to where it is posted online.

The original copyrighted work, [private], is a U.S. Federal Government repo that is used to support and maintain the following website: https://certify.sba.gov. On 11/24/2021, the URL to which the content was posted was https://github.com/antoniocapelo9/sba by user Github antoniocapelo9.

The first instance occurred on 11/2/2021 and was posted to the URL https://github.com/antoniocapelo9/sba-app. I requested a DMCA takedown notice for this event on 11/2/2021 and was notified by Github of its fulfillment on 11/4/2021.

What technological measures do you have in place and how do they effectively control access to your copyrighted material?

The original repo is created under a private Github account. Access to the repository must be requested and granted on an individual basis by SBA and must be deleted upon conclusion of specified need for access. Github user antoniocapelo9's need for access was terminated on 11/2/2021.

How is the accused project designed to circumvent your technological protection measures?

The accused project copies the private repo to a public URL.
