GitHub DMCA takedown notice  
**Are you the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf?**

Yes.

**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.**

User "daravi" does not have my authorization or permission to post my course materials to GitHub. The materials "daravi" posted include my notes, my assignments, my webpages, and other course files too numerous to list here that are my intellectual property. The materials were originally hosted on a secure website at a university with restricted access to individuals enrolled in the course. The content was never intended, authorized, nor licensed to be distributed outside of the course.

**What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository’s URL:**

The entire repository should be removed: https://github.com/daravi/cons340

**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.**

I am not aware of any forks at this time.

**Is the work licensed under an open source license? If so, which open source license? Are the allegedly infringing files being used under the open source license, or are they in violation of the license?**

None of my files are explicitly given an open source license.

There is one file (that I do not assert ownership or copyright over) that I know to have a CC BY license: https://github.com/daravi/cons340/blob/master/lecture_notes/99%20Papers/forests-09-00095-v2.pdf

There is one file (that I do not assert ownership or copyright over) that I know to have a Crown Copyright: https://github.com/daravi/cons340/blob/master/lecture_notes/99%20Papers/Hermosilla%20et%20al%20(2018).pdf

**What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement? Are there specific changes the other person can make other than removal?**

The only remedy is to remove the repository.  
There are only a handful of files for which I do not assert ownership or copyright:

https://github.com/daravi/cons340/blob/master/textbook/GIS%20Fundamentals%20-%20A%20First%20Text%20on%20Geographic%20Information%20Systems%20(Fifth%20Edition).pdf - Copyright asserted by owner other than me.
