Please describe the nature of your copyright ownership or authorization to act on the owner's behalf.
I am employed by Skillshare Inc. to manage fraud and abuse, including copyright issues.
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.
Skillshare.com is premium video hosting service. Our community posts educational video content to the site, earning royalties from views. The following python script scrapes videos and downloads protected Skillshare at scale.
What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository’s URL.
Do you claim to have any technological measures in place to control access to your copyrighted content? Please see our Complaints about Anti-Circumvention Technology if you are unsure.
Yes
What technological measures do you have in place and how do they effectively control access to your copyrighted material?
Skillshare relies on a subscriber streaming model to protect copyrighted materiel. As such, Skillshare requires both an account and a subscription to view the content, and Skillshare does not provide download links.
How is the accused project designed to circumvent your technological protection measures?
The project cited in this report is designed to download Skillshare video in bulk. These downloaded videos are later posted to piracy sites where users can watch them for free, and pirate site owners earn ad revenue. As mentioned, Skillshare does not provide download links- this script was created specifically to circumvent a Skillshare subscription model
Have you searched for any forks of the allegedly infringing files or repositories? Each fork is a distinct repository and must be identified separately if you believe it is infringing and wish to have it taken down.

Is the work licensed under an open source license?

n/a
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 fair use 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.
I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice.
