+Hello,
+
+My name is [Private] (GitHub user is blangel) and I am a professor at
+NYU teaching course CS9053. I use GitHub to help teach my class. I use
+private repositories to share homework and code with students and I
+leverage pull requests to code review the students' submissions. This
+material, however, is copyrighted by myself and NYU and I make explicit to
+students that this material should not be copied into other repositories
+and publicly posted online. This is to help avoid academic dishonesty in
+cheating (copying past homework submissions).
+
+GitHub user CHRISlvZHANG has two repositories which violate this copyright.
+
+https://github.com/CHRISlvZHANG/CS9053-Java  
+and  
+https://github.com/CHRISlvZHANG/Java-NYU-Course-Lab-Series
+
+They are in fact copies of other students work (who have not agreed to this
+posting, one of which has logged a complaint already with GitHub,
+user [Private]).
+
+The user in question, CHRISlvZHANG, does not have a public email associated
+with his account. I have attempted to contact him (per GitHub guidelines)
+by opening the following pull requests asking him to take down the material:
+
+https://github.com/CHRISlvZHANG/CS9053-Java/pull/1  
+https://github.com/CHRISlvZHANG/Java-NYU-Course-Lab-Series/pull/1
+
+He has not responded and so I am issuing a DMCA Complaint to take down the
+repositories.
+
+I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Filing a DMCA Notice.
+
+I have verified that each of the repositories is a whole copy of
+copyrighted material and both should completely be removed.
+
+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 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.
+
+My contact information is below:
+
+[Private]
+
+Thank you  
+[Private]
