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

I am an agent working on behalf of Minecraft/Mojang.

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.

http://minecraft.net Education Edition. This repo contains tool that allow end users to bypass built in game authentication

What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repositorys URL.

https://github.com/KuromeSan/MCEELoginSkip

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?

We use Azure Active Directory sign in with license checks to prevent unauthorized access to our application (Minecraft: Education Edition). We also use industry best practices such as compiled code and encrypted sub-components to prevent unauthorized or inappropriate access to our application.

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

This user has presumably decompiled and reverse engineered portions of our code to find how to bypass our licensing checks. Their code goes against our EULA and Terms of Use by bypassing server-based authentication and changing memory state on the client to simulate a successful sign in without actually performing any form of authentication or license check with the authentication server.

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.

Yes

Is the work licensed under an open source license?

No

What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement?

Reported content must be removed

Do you have the alleged infringers contact information? If so, please provide it.

[private] is one contact I have, whether or not this is the one on file with github I am not sure. It is possible that other accounts are used for that platform.

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.

So that we can get back to you, please provide either your telephone number or physical address.
